  • Ingenuity (helicopter drone on Mars)
  • Smart TVs and streaming devices (Samsung’s TizenOS and Roku devices)
  • Smart appliances (Samsung’s smart refrigerator)
  • Digital signs and billboards
  • My car stereo (Sony XAV-AX6000)
  • The Large Hadron Collider

        Think of them like graphics cards. They are more of a component to do calculations that the cpu either can’t do, or would take too long to do. So calling something (the whole shebang) a quantum computer is like calling a computer training AI an ML Server.
