Actually, Folding@Home is a marvelous problem for quantum computing. Dunno how big a machine you'd need, or when it would be available. You literally could put in the parameters for folding, tell it what kind of answer you're looking for, and it would promptly give you a solution - rather than trying to commandeer thousands of unused computers for years on end.
