These are uses I recall from a recent lecture on QC: Using "adiabatic" qbits (not like this one), it seems you can solve any problem that can be structured as a low energy state. Examples of these are: PCB track routing, city planning, some kinds of pattern matching search in large datasets such as gene maps. There are possible applications to AI because it can efficiently update a neural network or a Bayes net. Also (not sure what kind of qbits are best for this) you should be able to simulate a quantum-influenced process, such as protein folding, one for one rather than via exhaustive calculation on supercomputers. Factoring crypto is often cited, but to be honest it's a very boring application compared to the many others.
