The reason that first comes to mind would be to continue spying on foreign governments (the article states that this research was prompted by a fear that the US government would fall behind the EU and Swiss governments in quantum computing). The other obvious motivation would be to continue spying on individuals and organizations. Personally, I don't see how a quantum computer wouldn't be used for both of those things, if it truly does possess the abilities listed in the article.
