+=== BinaryBitQuantizedDenseVectorField
+
+Binary bit quantization is a different quantization technique that is even 
more aggressive in its compression and is able
+to reduce each dimension from a 32 bit float down to a single bit. This is 
done by normalizing each dimension of a vector
+relative to a centroid (mid-point pre-calculated against all vectors in the 
index) with the stored bit
+representing whether the actual value is positive or negative of the 
centroid's value. A further "corrective factor" is computed
+and stored to help compensate accuracy in the estimated distance. For more 
details, the original white paper can be viewed
+https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.12497[here].
