I feel it should be noted that quantum computers aren't the "do
computation instantaneously" panacea you imply it is. There is a small
subset of problems that algorithms can be constructed that they are
particularly good at. They generally are of the bruteforce over a set of
items that are reasonably simple to check algorithmically, and return the
one that checks as true.

As it turns out, they often seem to function similar to a randomly try one
possible solution, and return it if it's true. Just that they are really
lucky and choose the right possible solution first.
