There are really two things you should understand before proceeding any
further:
* Quantum computers and quantum cryptography are really two things that
don't have much to do with each other, except for the fact that both
contain the word "quantum" in it.
* There are no quantum computers anywhere in the world (at least as far
as we know it). They are a theoretical idea and if we're optimistic
about the research we'll see the first quantum computers in a few
decades. We also may never see them, because building them is really
challenging.
(To be 100% precise there are some experimental quantum computers
with very low bit lengths - I think 15 is a record - but they're not
very useful except as a theoretical physicis experiment)
Judging from your words I think you're really missing some basic
information here. I'd really advise you to read a bit more about the
topic or watch some youtube lectures before proceeding any further.
