How much of a threat is quantum computing at the moment.

Strictly speaking, at the moment, quantum computing isn't a threat (or of use) to anyone since it's still nothing more than a science experiment.

Oh we'll have a problem all right, but not just with Bitcoin. Encryption methods used by every bank will also be at risk at that point.

All it would take is one entity to achieve significant quantum computing power (NSA in UTAH!?), and all of the sudden we have a real problem. Right?

Info and thoughts welcome
