What would you do if you had a quantum computer?

Be really confused as to how it works, tear it apart and figure it out. The problem is that I would change how it works by observing the process, and I would only get more confused.

Encryption/Shor's algorithm would be my starting point, I am sure I could find a practical use for one of the fields I otherwise play in (probably some decent atomic modelling) but right now my knowledge and thus imagination is limited to the crypto stuff. However a great man once said "I shall use this power to annoy" and that sounds like a better plan than something that would get me arrested, though that might be difficult as I am not sure what the laws might be here.
That said even with a quantum computer you still need some decent conventional computing to make sense of what it spits out so it would probably be like if I otherwise got a supercomputer -- it would be cool and mere ownership would allow me to sleep well at night but the electricity required to power it would be the stumbling factor.

well, depends what it can do and can be used for.
artificial intelligence development, sandboxed accelerated life development environment emulation with only physic laws as parameters?
motor & propulsion development? combustion motors are archaic and old (100+ years old).

Protein folding calculations and modelling.
Meteorological and weather modelling and prediction.
Running the three body problem as a screen saver.
Run Crysis at high settings

Seeing how quantum computers are only good at specialized tasks that are, essentially, useless to myself...
Sell it and buy a real PC ;O;

I'm betting a good quantum annealing machine could make meteorology a hard science. Now, wouldn't it be pretty awesome if the weather man/woman was right almost every single time.Protein folding calculations and modelling.

One of the sites that weren't blocked on the school's network was some file uploading sites. I would upload some games, write down the URL and take it to school one day. -

It was easy to bypass some of the restrictions, as one of the admins left a registry key in the administrative shares drive, which allowed me to get around the blocking of some sites.
