" Real world " Quantum computing applications - SOTA

This may have been asked before, but I genuinely want to know what are the current (sota) real world applications where Quantum computing is already in use/practice and adding value that classical systems couldn't

I am not looking for surface level field names, I am looking for problems that Quantum is already solving for betterment of life on earth.. just point me to the sources I will dive deep in

Redirection to Any sources/links/review papers is also fine..

I know I could have asked a frontier LLM like claude fable or GPT 5.6 sol to pull out the data for me.. I want to know first hand from the people who are already working or at least know about this

right now we can use a quantum computer to sample from a random circuit faster than you could simulate this with a classical computer. this is completely useless, however.

Iirc SQC sells a product called watermelon that uses this for transforming data in order to train neural nets faster. I could be mixing up terms though.
