A cubit is an ancient greek unit of length which is now commonly used to denote any small unit of information.
I do not understand how this is a quantum computer. A quantum computer uses the states of an electron to store data. However, no published research group has been able to create coherent electron states which are measurable and that last longer than a few nanoseconds. If this is not using the states of an electron, it is not a quantum computer. This kind of misinformation is really detremental to the field and is probably a marketing ploy intended to prey upon those who do not know what the word quantum means but think that it sounds cool.
