It would be useful in discussions on quantum computing and cryptography not to miss that vulnerability (if and to the extent it exists) only pertains to the asymmetric algorithms. As far as we know, no modern symmetric block cipher is affected.
I was under the impression that for any generic symmetric cipher, Grover's algorithm would halve the strength in bit, for example a 128 bit key would be as weak against Quantum computers as a current 64 bit key against normal computers.
