Brilliant, just what I was looking for, all I could find was information on a scheme where they intercept computers and bug them with radio transimitters[1]. Can anyone tell me why the two codenames are so similar? It would seem that they're wildly different exploits.

A previous article, "How the NSA Plans to Infect ‘Millions’ of Computers with Malware" [0], linked to "a classified list" [1][2] of the various "QUANTUM*" programs entitled "There is More Than One Way to QUANTUM". If I'm understanding your question correctly, the table in [1] and [2] should illustrate the (similarities and) differences.
