Quantum Computers

Hey! I was reading a post about life being a quantum computer, and that started me thinking about the subject to begin with. So, here's my question: what would you do with a quantum computer if they were commercially available?

Well, you wouldn't be able to do "anything you want", for a start.
Quantum computers have to follow quantum rules, which restricts the kinds of problems they can be applied to.

One thing that's already in use is secure encryption and communication.

I suppose you're right.

Quantum rules are only intrinsic to the reality in which the computer exists. Should the reality itself be an emulator and should it be possible to bridge the emulated computer with that of the emulator that is emulating it, then there is a high chance that the rules applied can actually be "Bent" to allow for special changes to the ruleset (at least localised to that bridged system).

One usage of Quantum Computers that currently hasn't been mentioned is "Random Generators", since the potential variables are far higher (although it is intrinsic to Security Tunnels which have polymorphic encryption)
