With respect to biological simulations, researchers at IBM were able to implement artificial life algorithms on a quantum computer [0]. They discuss some potential advantages to simulating life on a quantum computer versus a classical one. Researchers have also been trying to figure out if quantum computers can be used for weather predictions [1].
