From page 3...
... Despite a few well-known quantum algorithms, such as Shor's factoring algorithm and Grover's search algorithm, there is a limited set of known specific problems for which a quantum computer is advantageous. A few quantum computational operations have been experimentally performed on a small number of quantum bits, units of quantum information analogous to the classical logical bits 0 and 1.
