I work in this field. Although the prospects for using quantum computers to solve classical problems are pretty bleak, the primary motivator for the invention of quantum computers was not to solve classical problems, but to solve quantum on

Unsurprisingly, this is applied for quantum circuits as well: https://vtomole.com/blog/2018/03/03/sd . It's the most popular way of introducing quantum computation.
