Existing quantum algorithms have not yet been found which have reduced NP-complete problems to polynomial time. (See [0] for a pretty comprehensive list.)
IE, I was talking about quantum algorithms we have, none of which have done so, not stating the impossibility of such an algorithm.
I am not aware of a proof that comments on whether or not such an algorithm is impossible, however.
