This to me seems to have quite pertinent applications in computing pathway systems, maybe even a way of making quantum computing an everyday reality (size restraints permitting of course).

Well a pertinent example would be the reduced space needed for storage of information. You could have a massive amount of usable resources in a very small physical space. The small and more efficient this becomes, the faster computers will be. Although, that technology is a while off yet.
