    I would imagine security on the first actual quantum computers would be primarily physical, with access controls on who gets to use it and what they're allowed to put in it. I would not expect it to have any sort of outside access connection such that poor or non-existent system security would even be a potential avenue of attack.

    Edit: That or the quantum computer would be behind a security layer of established traditional computer security.
