This makes my brain hurt.  CTC processors from Exultant come to mind.

"By combining quantum computation and quantum interrogation, scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have found an exotic way of determining an answer to an algorithm – without ever running the algorithm.” Oh my God, how is that possible?
