Low This article has been rated as Low-importance on the
project's importance scale .
Just to note, I created this article as "U-bit" for two reasons:
That is the form used in the New Scientist article referenced.
It helps to disambiguate this article with
UBIT which is a redirect to an article on taxation.
Hope I have done the right thing. — Cheers,

Nice work writing this interesting article.
This may be off-topic, but complex numbers can be reproduced using real numbers in
Clifford algebra . Does anything in this article have anything to do with e.g.
David Hestenes 's work on QM using
geometric algebra ,
algebra of physical space ,
spacetime algebra etc. to provide geometric interpretations of the factors of i appearing in the Schrödinger equation, Dirac equation, etc (see for example
[1] )?

Thanks for the compliment. Your question is way over my head I am afraid, I would love to know the answer too. — Cheers,

From the
linked arxiv paper , it seems that these are also called Universal bits or Universal quantum bits. Maybe that is a better, more formal title? In either case it should be in the article, preferably in the lead.
