In classical computer science information is stored in bits, in quantum computer science — in quantum bits, i.e. qubits. Experiments now show that not only physics, but also chemistry is suitable for storing information. The role of the chemical bit, the ‘chit’, can be fulfilled by a simple arrangement of three droplets in contact with each other, in which oscillatory reactions occur.
