There are encyption methods in existence that are resistant to any likely implementation of quantum computing as it's now understood. It may be that, in the future, quantum computing is developed to be better able to crack those ciphers, but it's equally likely that other methods of encryption will be developed that are even more resistant to quantum cracking.
