QC for crypto is a no-brainer. QC for anything else, including data mining/ML Problems in ML can be mostly proposed as an optimization task and if QC would works out, ML would be likely its main application. It would likely make an huge difference in solving a classification problems as you could train your ML model with much more data much faster. I t would also make the clustering problem much faster too as it also can be expressed as an optimization problem. Also there are many other optimization problems that would benefit a lot from the speed up (regardless if it is huge constant speed up or an asymptotic one).
