Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers
I assume that’s in the same way that my chimney has long been vulnerable to Santa Claus.

I think it is pretty widely accepted in cybersecurity that traditional encryption methods are vulnerable to quantum computers?
This isn’t really a “cold fusion” thing.
The entire desire to build a Quantum Computer is related to solving problems a traditional computer would take ages to do. There has been meaningful steady progress towards it too, though no one seriously expects results tomorrow.
