Can a theoretical strong enough quantum computer break PFS?

QC breaks perfect forward secrecy schemes using non-PQC algorithms, same as for non-PFS. PFS schemes typically use single-use ephemeral DH/ECDH key pairs for symmetric key exchange, separate from the long-term signing keys for authentication.
