Quantum computing is still in the "researchers are playing with a handful of Qbits" stage, approximately where transistors where a hundred years ago. Scaling quantum computers is really hard. Even though Qbits can be encoded in single atoms, the machinery that keeps the quantum states stable and manipulates them is most definitely not easy to shrink.

It's also completely unclear whether quantum computers would make your Javascript engine run any faster.
