Okay, but I was assuming we're speaking about here and now. Show me a crack of aes, blowfish, twofish, serpent, or the like. And yes, someday we'll have quantum computers that will crack these cyphers, but then there will also be quantum computers that use quantum cyphers (or just quantum sized key lengths) that won't be crackable by quantum computers.
