 Quantum information in base $n$ defined by state partitions
We define a ``nit'' as a radix n measure of quantum information which is based on state partitions associated with the outcomes of n-ary observables and which, for n > 2, is fundamentally irreducible to a binary coding.
The formal concept of information is tied to physics, at least as far as applicability is a concern.
Then, this particle carries one nit of information, namely to ``be in a single one from n different states.'' Subsequent measurements may confirm this statement.

 Wired News: A New Twist on Light Speed
So, for instance, looking head-on at a three-stranded photon -- for which the orbital angular momentum is three units -- one would see three lines separated by 120 degrees (like a clock with minute hands pointing at 12, 4 and 8) as they all moved in a circle together.
Technically, the general unit of information is called a "nit," named after the above n.
Indeed, because individual photons obey the laws of quantum mechanics, the information carried in photon orbital states is quantum information -- a new breed of data that can take on multiple values at once.
