If quantum computing works, we will have a lot more problems then just fixing bitcoin. Cracking bitcoin means cracking everything. :-/

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

If the do develop a quantum computer, it will be able to play some badass game.
Whatever happens it is win win.

Quantum computers are hyped about for decades, yet no substantial proof of their plausibility has been demonstrated.
I wouldn't worry about the NSA succeeding in building one.

If I invented a quantum computer, I wouldn't use it to break bitcoin. I'd use it to MINE primecoin dude. I'd make bones, then destroy my work.

If they can break current encryption, then BTC is the least of our worries.
They'll be able to break into banks, emails, virtually any online security out there.
Also, if quantum computers are available, people could probably mine with it and have the difficulty raise 100 fold.
