No.

Quantum computers excel at problems where the math is simple and the inputs are simple, but discerning a result requires exploring a bazillion possibilities - like solving sudoku or factoring large numbers.

Space travel is not this sort of problem - although there will certainly be heaps of small problems within space travel's massive problem stack that quantum computers could help with, such as finding new alloys and meta-materials.
