When quantum computers come out new blockchain tech will follow including bitcoins replacement.

There are already solutions available for this, and I think the Litecoin developers are considering implementing this kind of protection.

From the last time I saw them discussing this: https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/53xrnh/do_we_need_to_make_litecoin_quantum_resistant/
