I could be wrong but I'm sure that once the relevant level (actual calls) is reached research proposals about the security impact of quantum computing will be very welcome. I wouldn't be shocked if a couple of research projects on post-quantum cryptography would be funded. In fact I'll go ahead and say there will be a clause in all calls along the lines of "ethical, security, privacy and legal issues and social impact has to be outlined in the proposal" The way I read it is: "Other people will research it, EU needs to research it as well" and that's the security benefit (not being behind on what could be a core technology with security and other implications).
