A number of qubits taken together is a qubit register[?]. Quantum computers perform calculations by manipulating qubits.
It is also possible to have a three-state system, called a qutrit[?], whose states are conventionally labeled |0⟩, |1⟩ and |2⟩.
(A qubit is not to be confused with a cubit, which is an ancient measure of length equal to about 40 or 50cm.)
