QC resistant algorithms?

While I know it's not a big concern at the moment, we are well on the
way to a future that includes quantum computing. While some in the
computer science and crypto fields say we won't see a crypto breaking
quantum computer for another 30+ years, others are putting it closer
to 10 and even 5-6.

Regardless of what the actual timeframe is, I'm wondering what work is
being done in GnuPG to implement QC resistant asymmetric algorithms?
Perhaps a better question, and I have done very little research into
this specifically I admit, /are/ there any QC resistant asymmetric
algorithms to implement or will we need to come up with something
completely different?
