    Are you saying that quantum computers could help the rich encrypt their communications better?

      Haha the only thing a quantum channel does is verifying if a message has been altered (looking at a message alters it).
      Actual encryption that prevents the Shor algorithm from having a linear running time have been around for quite some time now and can be easily run on normal machines. NIST is just taking its sweet time to decide on one.
