Not very--at least, no publicly known research suggests that quantum computers will be immediately useful against hash algorithms. The only published quantum algorithm relevant to cryptography (that I know of) is for factoring large numbers in polynomial time. (Sorry, couldn't resist commenting as I just finished my thesis on quantum computing and Fourier transforms!)
