I wouldn't expect more than 1 MIPS, which is what the DEC VAX 11/780 was doing around 1980.
(Awesome one-man project, if that's the case.)

> To enable the simulation of a large number of coupled harmonic oscillators, we came up with a mapping that encodes the positions and velocities of all masses and springs into the quantum wavefunction of a system of qubits. Since the number of parameters describing the wavefunction of a system of qubits grows exponentially with the number of qubits, we can encode the information of N balls into a quantum mechanical system of only about log(N) qubits.
