  Also the iOS SDK isn’t freely available, so you’d have to copy that out of an Xcode installation… but given enough time and effort, you could almost certainly hack together a cross-compilation config for Clang that compiles an unsigned iOS app on Linux. Signing it might in fact be the bigger issue, since I’m not aware of any tools that sign Mach-O binaries on Linux.

  Seriously. There are a lot of parallels between GPUs and quantum processors in terms of being architected towards a more specialized form of computing and I could totally see QPUs being a thing in the future, e.g. for number crunching tasks (Shor) or database searches (Grover). Similar story for NPUs, which are tailored to do ML inference (so mostly matrix multiplication) quickly.
