gollark: Shor's algorithm? Yes. HOWEVER, there are algorithms designed to not be attacked by quantum stuff, yes.
gollark: Public key crypto stuff?
gollark: Guess what? We can already basically do that with cryptographic primitives, but people use them wrong and the rest of the systems are terrible.
gollark: People also overhype it and talk about how you can get "unhackable" communication through fiddling with key exchange using fancy quantum whatever.
