It's general-purpose computing, so it will be used for surveillance and porn, as always.

If you look into the players in quantum computing all of the big spending is coming from intelligence spending (They funnel it through universities as grants). End of the day the stake holder the grant holders report to is someone in a government intelligence agency. Right now our 3 letter agencies are storing all encrypted files they can get their hands on now to one day use quantum computers to crack the encryption.
