Episode 28 moves beyond the lab and into the purchasing department. Lucas and Luna examine how large enterprises are beginning to treat quantum computing access like any other cloud procurement category — with dedicated line items, multi-year contracts, and vendor evaluation frameworks. They walk through JPMorgan Chase's reported quantum budget structure, the rise of 'quantum procurement officers' at firms like BMW and Boeing, and what the shift means for startups selling into the enterprise. The hosts also explore the tension between buying access via cloud providers like AWS and Azure versus direct hardware contracts with IonQ or IBM. Specific numbers include the estimated $80 million in enterprise quantum procurement globally in 2025 and the typical contract size for a quantum-as-a-service deal. A natural, grounded look at how big companies actually buy this technology today.
