Indeed; while Quantum compute is an exciting development, I am suspicious of the conclusion that cracking classic crypto is just around the corner. There are enormous challenges yet to solve; reducing noise in the results down to a useful collection is just one. If the quantum computer gives you a correct result 1/2^64 times, or a result within range of the actual result to within 2^64 values, then it is far from complete doom for classical cryptography. It's very useful for lots of other things, so undoubtedly we'll see plenty of gains in in quantum applications.
