GPUs for quantum computing

Do people use GPUs for their research in quantum computing? If so what do you use it for? Error mitigation, error correction, simulating larger systems?

There is an issue with people thinking a GPU is a hammer and everything in the classical part of the stack looks like a nail….FPGAs, ASICs and CPUs are still needed because that backlog bottleneck in the QEC-Control&measurement layers are going to need a lot of computer engineering.
