The mixing of optical fiber and quantum computers could be so fast that it boggles the mind.

This is some background on optical fiber uses from wikipedia:

Optical fiber is also used in imaging optics. A coherent bundle of fibers is used, sometimes along with lenses, for a long, thin imaging device called an endoscope, which is used to view objects through a small hole. Medical endoscopes are used for minimally invasive exploratory or surgical procedures. Industrial endoscopes (see fiberscope or borescope) are used for inspecting anything hard to reach, such as jet engine interiors. Many microscopes use fiber-optic light sources to provide intense illumination of samples being studied.

We are looking forward to more progress in this area as optics seem to be the future of microprocessing, data transmission and so many areas in science.  What types of applications do you think will use quantum computers?  Feel free to comment with your ideas.
