Currently, IBM, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Bracket all sell cloud access to quantum computing resources by the hour, by the task, or in credits. In the current environment, where quantum is limited to research computing, individual departments might strike separate deals with these platforms. But libraries, which have experience negotiating licensing, managing access, and ensuring equity for their community, could instead diffuse quantum across the university by buying a block of credits, or create a framework for allocation, setting a price point for each project and assigning funding accordingly, much like an internal grant application process or early approaches to APCs. I call this Quantum-Computing-as-a-Library-Service (QCAALS).
