https://www.dwavesys.com/applications is worth looking at, they quote 200 different applications for their system.

Truly useful as in profitable, maybe not yet, but it's still early days - it would be like asking Von Neumann how he plans to handle microtransactions

From what I’ve read about Von Neumann, he’d probably take a decent stab at answering that!

Oh, no doubt, and I bet you could get someone from any of the current QC companies to go hog wild with ideas over a beer or two, but in practical reality what matters is execution and manufacturing - something that Honeywell, Google, et. al. have been scant on but seems to be core to what D-Wave is doing.
