That may be an accurate summary.
It's the materializing of a probability, as a result of reading the qubit, that alters the timeline. So if you give the quantum computer a particular processing task, you may have the ability to steer the timeline. It is thought that many countries now have some quantum computing devices and capability to research how these algorithms function in that context.
Having a massive surveillance database to prime the computations with would definitely be a strategic advantage in modelling possible futures.
Yes, I think that's what's going on.
Fun stuff (not).
Gets right into good versus evil.
