None, by definition.  There is no such thing as a problem that
needs a quantum computer to analyze.  You can do it all with a 
Turing Machine, because a Turing Machines can simulate all
possible computers.

The reason everyone is so interested in Quantum Computers is the
potentially speed at which (in theory) they can solve certain 
problems.  The reason we aren't all sitting in front of Turing 
Machines is the slow speed at which they solve most problems.
That, and the fact that the local office supply store always seems
to be out of stock of infinite tapes.
