The problem is they have to invent quantum encryption before they invent quantum computers.

A quantum computer will be able to break any non quantum encryption.

So, for instance, if China builds quantum computers before we get quantum encryption they can blow right through all of our military secrets.

And yes, if anyone trys to get into a quantum computer it will collapse the superpostion (quantum wave action) and lock them out.
