 Ah, but the very stuff of Quantum Computing gives us the ability to build essentially unbreakable Quantum Communications Ciphers which through fundamentally Quantum processes such as entanglement don't depend on large number factoring at all
While a lot of progress has been made in Quantum Computing there are at present very challenging issues involving noise and Qbit stability limiting their practicality at the scale necessary to break the NIST cyphers

Good that they are working on it.  HoweverThe quantum computers of tomorrow can decode today’s encoded messages and files. Someone grabs today’s encoded files with their PC to save and then decodes them when these quantum computers are ready with their super powerful QC. Bitcoin.  Blockchain. Etc. -steve

I personally know Government agencies have been working on this for some time and have involved industry and universities.
