They’re not for running games faster, but they could potentially find two large prime factors pretty fast.

Useless today, unknown tomorrow.

I have personally written code for quantum computers to save time due to algorithmic complexity; I was a college student at the time.
So if their usefulness is stuck in the unknowable future then I'm a time traveler.

It’s worth noting that the laser was much the same way. It was described early on as a solution in search of a problem, and lasers have had an incredible impact on technology.
