If and when quantum computing does start making waves, I expect the security guys will start loudly crowing about it.
Its ostensible ability to break most regular encryption schemes over its knee would be a complete fucking nightmare for them, that's for sure.
The problem is that to start breaking encryption you need quantum computing with a bunch of qubits as originally defined and not "our lawyer signed off on the claim that we have 1000 qubits".
"Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog"
Not only that, the reported development of post-quantum cryptography (with NIST having released some finalised encryption standards last year) could give cybersec professionals a headstart on protecting everything if it fully comes to fruition (assuming said cryptography lives up to its billing).
You want me to take a shot in the dark, I expect zero-knowledge proofs will manage to break into the mainstream before quantum computing becomes a thing - minimising the info you give out is good for protecting your users' privacy, and minimises the amount of info would-be attackers could work with.
Which still has to be proven.
As far as i understand the quantum thing, the breaking encryption part relies on a principle you can't implement in contemporary computing-hardware without breaking that principle.
At least current implementations perform worse than bruteforcing, outside of some tailor-made benchmarks.
they don't need to worry about something that doesn't exist beyond DoD LARPing parties
