quantum computing

An article in New Scientist says that "A practical quantum computer
is now less than 10 years away"

ANSI X9.62 says that 128-256 bit encryption is good until "Beyond
2030".

Do the ANSI estimates take quantum computing into account?

How do we change our encryption today if we want our messages to remain
secure "Beyond 2030"?
