Before they set out to build the world’s first functional quantum computer, Pete Shadbolt and his co-founders were just teenagers, playing video games, experimenting, and dreaming about what was possible. In this deeply personal talk, Pete takes us back to where it all started: a journey of creativity, curiosity, and a belief that the impossible could be engineered into reality. From the spark of an idea to the bold ambition of PsiQuantum, this is a story of friction, perseverance, and the drive to build a technology that could change the world.
