QPUs

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.
