[messaging] Do quantum attacks/algos also lead to compromise of PFS?

Just realized that this also seems on topic for this list (since it's directly relevant to e2e messaging, especially forms like OTR).

So, I understand that QM algos can pretty much dismantle all popular asymmetric encryption algos with enough q-bits, but I haven't thought hard enough to see if they also can be used to compromise communications that used DH to do PFS underneath the initial handshake.

Thanks,
Greg
