Disregarding custom OS that will probably be made first.
Quantum circuits aren’t general-purpose computers—they’re added to conventional computers to allow them to perform a small handful of algorithms more efficiently. I don’t believe any of those algorithms would benefit the basic features of an operating system enough that it would make sense to modify an OS to require the use of one.
(Although I could totally see Microsoft doing something like only licensing their circuit’s drivers to run on Windows.)
Exactly. If they do ever become a thing, if thats even possible, it would be a special card like a graphics card.
they are effectively GPUs
