the bigger question seems to be that apparently those super powerful quantum computers run x86_64 architecture. Not sure its support for quantum commands though, seems like a waste of money just for the “quantum” name
Well in fairness, a quantum computer would probably be more like a GPU - you’d still need a CPU, and you’d use it to control the quantum piece for specific tasks
Quantum code is extremely different, we don’t know how to write it well yet. Quantum processors are also only suitable for certain problems - they’re not faster, they can just take a problem with a definite answer and skip looking through the problem space to collapse into a solution
It would be insane to rewrite an os for a far less efficient, hundreds of thousands of times more expensive quantum CPU than to just attach it to a normal computer
So a quantum computer would very likely use x64 Linux, and if so could probably run games… Except who knows if it even would even have integrated graphics, it would probably only ever be used as a server so that many people can queue up tasks… at least until we have several nobel-award worthy breakthroughs
