Inverting a general-purpose cryptographic hash function in the quantum setting is (roughly) as hard as it is in the classical setting.

(Roughly because of Grover’s algorithm, but there are algorithms that perform similarly or better on classical machines. Which is why modern hash functions have relatively large margins anyways.)
