Quantum computers are capable of taking encryptions that would normally take super computers 500 years to crack and crack them in minutes.

That said quantum computers are still so expensive and rare that you and I shouldn't be concerned about someone using them against us. They've already started development on encryption methods that use quantum phenomena to encrypt messages that even quantum computers have a hard time cracking.
