Our take
Applied Materials supplies PVD sputtering and CVD deposition systems used in Josephson junction fabrication (niobium, aluminum, SiO2 dielectrics). Quantum fab volumes today are trivial relative to AMAT's ~$27B revenue. Long-term optionality: if superconducting qubit manufacturing scales to foundry-equivalent volumes, AMAT tools are in the primary process flow. Risk: commercial-scale qubit fab is decade-scale.
