There exists public-key algorithms that are resistant against quantum
computers, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTRUEncrypt for example, an
overview can be found on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography .

However, they are usually not as well analysed als ElGamal and RSA,  and
they often require quite large keys to be secure against known attacks.
For these reasons I would not trust them yet.
