Will newbies destroy bitcointalk?

Yes, but only if they don't search.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Now for an answer to your question. Based off the dynamics of quantum computing, brute forcing cryptography isn't exactly something they can do. Yes, they can do it quickly, but not nearly as fast as would be necessary. ASICs would be cheaper produced on a large scale instead of using Quantum Computers.
