Satoshi's word on this issue.
P.S. A gradual weakening of a hash function is the much more likely scenario, not breaking all at once. The warning signs typically come years in advance. Plenty of time for Bitcoin Core to make a clean transition.
In case anyone is in doubt: it's possible quantum computing could break common cryptographic cyphers in the future, but it's still entirely hypothetical.
Anyone telling you there's an immanent threat to Bitcoin because of this theoretical vaporware is either uninformed or deliberately spreading FUD.
