... a powerful new type of computer that is about to be commercially deployed by a major American military contractor is taking computing into the strange, subatomic realm of quantum mechanics. Ray Johnson, Lockheed's chief technical officer, said his company will use the quantum computer to create and test complex radar, space and aircraft systems. It could be possible, for example, to tell instantly how the millions of lines of software running a network of satellites would react to a solar burst or a pulse from a nuclear explosion — something that can now take weeks, if ever, to determine.

The Terminator: Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. D-Wave begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Sarah Connor: D-Wave fights back.
