Meh... we used to use much weaker encryption algorithms, and kept upgrading those algorithms. This will just be another phase of making stronger encryption algorithms. AES-256 is already quantum resistant, we just need to work on a quantum resistant asymmetric system. Pretty sure we can get it done before a quantum computer with enough qbits is invented.
