This topic has been discussed multiple times already. Please use the search function or google and read up on the subject.

There are no known ways that quantum computers will break sha256.

Doesn't the fact that quantum computers are more efficient than classical computers (Taken from https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/50366/is-there-any-proof-that-quantum-computers-are-more-efficient-than-classical-comp) mean that they will be slightly better than normal computers at hashing? Maybe not exponentially, but slightly more efficient?
