Protecting a device from a cyberattack.

Quantum computers can solve certain hard mathematical problems (e.g., integer factoring with Shor’s algorithm) that underlie current cryptographic systems and can also enable new quantum-safe or quantum-based security methods (like quantum key distribution). The other tasks (cartoon animation, running a cash register, identifying rainbow colors) are well handled by classical computers and don’t gain significant advantage from quantum computing.
