Of course, there are the exceedingly well-known examples of this, eg. breaking RSI encryption, possibly protein folding, etc. What are some more obscure or overlooked ways that the greater computing power of quantum computers can be applied? What are problems that classical computers cannot handle but quantum computers could?
