Whether the system of computing is based on 2 bits or 10 qubits, there will still be ways to safely encrypt things. Couldn't someone simply utilize the same quantum computing technology to effectively scale the size of the algorithms already in use, so as to further inhibit hacking and decryption?
Great post though. I appreciate the fact that you left links to your sources at the bottom.

Thank you for your contribution. Until we get there, we may not know the implication of Quantum computers on crypto. I hope that it is not much of a threat as envisaged.
