I think the best summary until now about Post-quantum cryptography is from Peter Gutmann in the cryptography mailing-list.

Given that after 20 years and hundreds of millions of dollars spent researchers have yet to demonstrate a single legitimate cryptanalysis result using a quantum physics experiment, it's a bit like arguing over which brand of unicorn repellent is the most cromulent.

The current state of things in terms of pure vs. hybrid systems seems to be:
