Please advise on a reading material that would help illuminate for me the area that appears to be largely overlooked. I see scholarly articles on quantum algorithms and complexity, popular explanations of quantum annealing, and introductory guides to educational quantum computing. What i am looking for is a concrete, no-loose-ends example of translating a simple but useful classical computing task into a form that can be implemented on a quantum computer. Efficiency or inefficiency of such an approach is not important. What's important is the example, the thought process. It can be a simple problem: roots of a polynomial, eigenvector of an operator, etc.
