The single technology that will determine who controls humanity's future

Quantum computing isn't just a scientific curiosity; it's the next frontier of geopolitical power. In this episode, PsiQuantum Co-Founder & CSO Pete Shadbolt explains how the race to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer will define global dominance, similar to the semiconductor race of the last century. Kendall On Air host Rhie Lim sits down with one of the world's leading minds in quantum technology to reveal the fundamental differences between AI and quantum, why most current quantum computers are not on the right path, and how PsiQuantum is leveraging existing semiconductor foundries to build a machine with one million qubits. For investors, founders, and tech leaders, this conversation is a critical look into the technology that will shape the future of medicine, materials, finance, and national security. Discover the real-world roadmap to the quantum future, and what your organization needs to do now to prepare.
