Make no mistake, quantum computing is a threat towards anything secured by public-private keys. The amount of qubits required to break ECDSA is above a thousand and currently, there isn't any quantum computers that is close to that, without running it for longer periods of time and without errors.

It's not hard to design a new algorithm to secure the signatures but the harder part should be about securing the addresses with coins and were P2PK.
