but can it run Doom?


The chip would need to be scaled couple of orders of magnitude, but in principle, it is possible :) see https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.12162


Linux would be a start :-)


FWIU a 6-stage RISC processor is sufficient to run Linux.

Things like CUDA-Q may be faster on classical computers than on quantum computers for forever; though what CUDA-Q solves for is also an optimization problem?

I wouldn't hold my breath for Linux on a quantum computer.
