Will Quantum computing be the end of Tor and all Privacy?

It's just a matter of time before quantum computers become a reality. And 
who will have the privilege of owning these beasts? Well, first and foremost 
the governments! And considering the insane power of these quantum 
computers, even strong encryption, by today's standard on regular computers, 
will be effortlessly broken within reasonable time.

So, where does this put Tor, encryption and general privacy? Shouldn't we 
start preparing ourselves for the inevitable privacy apocalypse?
