It might be more approrpriate to call it the quantum-proof internet, because the idea here isn't something like a quantum-computer-powered internet, but rather, an internet that uses security protocols that are resistant to quantum computers, if and when they arrive. "Today's encryption schemes would not be secure to quantum attacks, thanks to a quantum algorithm called Shor's algorithm... the fact that it could exist, in theory, means that it's time for cryptographers to devise a new way to encrypt data so that we're prepared."
