Oh my. I have this quantum computer sitting in my office. Literally didn't think of using it for mining! 
All jokes aside, I would imagine that the companies investing in and running quantum computers have other plans for them, but you never know. I bet they'd do a pretty decent job at mining.

Quantum computer mining wont be mining coins, it will be mining address private keys.

Might be possible (sorry I don't have one at home currently ), but I don't think that's the point. If it could mine so fast, it could guess private keys so fast as well. So, that will be the bigger issue. Who wants to mine when you cam just guess the private key out?
Further more, with PoS; mining won't be a thing anymore; anyway; as those coins will be pre mined

Exactly !!
or even worse maybe make a 51% attack and completely destroy any crypto that works via the POW.
