I’m no expert but I think it’s just a statistical measure of information, not something that can be physically realized in isolation. If two possible states are 1 bit and four possible states are 2 bits, then 3 possible states lies somewhere in between.

I did a bit of a search and found this: How can there be a fraction of a bit?
Oh cool. I was wondering if it was just a math thing or it was related to hardware used in ternary computers.
