Entangled Health with Thomas Ehmer is a long-form podcast and research-media project exploring quantum biology, quantum computing, AI, biotechnology, consciousness research, and the future of medicine. We distinguish established evidence, emerging research, and frontier hypotheses.
In this episode of Entangled Health, we explore microbial bioelectronics with Princetonâs Joshua T. Atkinson to understand how living cells are being engineered as fast, responsive biosensors for our water infrastructure. Instead of forcing metal and silicon into wet tissue, Joshâs lab asks a different question: What if the biology itself is the wire? We discuss how bacteria move electrons outside their cells, how these pathways can be engineered to detect pollutants, and where quantum effects like spin filtering appear in living biofilms.
Conductive Biofilms: Communities of microbes that use shared protein pathways to behave like living electronic materials, capable of carrying current across micrometer scales.Extracellular Electron Transfer: The biological process where certain bacteria move electrons from inside the cell to external surfaces like minerals or electrodes.Spin Filters in Biology: The phenomenon where multi-heme cytochromes in bacterial wires selectively bias the spin of electrons passing through them, hinting at quantum effects in biology.
Key Concepts Explained:In this episode, you'll learn:
How Josh Atkinson's group engineers Shewanella and Geobacter pathways to turn microbes into active circuit components.The mechanics of building a biosensor that detects endocrine-disrupting chemicals like bisphenol A in minutes.The role of multi-heme cytochromes acting as spin filters, and how magnetic fields change electron transfer rates in biofilms.Why the analogy of "biofilms as doped semiconducting channels" bridges biology and electrical engineering.The practical scaling limits of living electronics and why environmental sensing is the strongest near-term application.Timestamps:

Lawrence Gasman has spent decades tracking the commercial reality of new technologies across networking, photonics, AI, and quantum. But what happens when the world you are paid to model no longer feels like the whole world?In this episode, we start with the medium-term commercial applications of quantum AI and quantum robotics. From there, the conversation slips into the unexpected. We trace Lawrenceâs early encounters with the students of Alan Turing and the philosophy of GĂśdel, before moving into the raw phenomenology of his own out-of-body experiences and hospital-induced altered states.
It is a conversation about holding the tension between a highly rigorous economic lens and the deeply unsettling realization that reality, intelligence, and consciousness are far fuzzier than our categories suggest. We live inside the contradiction, looking at the limits of artificial intelligence, the measurement problem, and the philosophical legacy of Brian Josephson.
The commercial trajectory of quantum AI and roboticsTuring, GĂśdel, and the legacy of philosophy in mathematicsHow out-of-body experiences challenge a materialist worldviewThe intersection of quantum mechanics, biology, and consciousness (the Josephson influence)Why current LLMs lack the existential grounding of embodied consciousness

Entangled Health with Thomas Ehmer is a long-form podcast and research-media project exploring quantum biology, quantum computing, AI, biotechnology, consciousness research, and the future of medicine.
We distinguish established evidence, emerging research, and frontier hypotheses.LaĂs Lopes is an electrochemist, graphene specialist, and co-founder and CTO of Qnity, a Brazilian deep-tech startup building a new kind of molecular sensor, one that reads binding events directly at the electron level, in real blood and plasma, without fluorescent labels or amplification steps.
In this conversation, we follow her path from hydrogels to graphene to quantum electrochemistry, and into the lab on a night in 2020 when she took real COVID samples, ran them through her graphene sensor, and couldn't sleep afterwards.
We talk about what it means to detect a molecule at attomolar concentrations, roughly one grain of sugar dissolved in an Olympic pool, and why that sensitivity changes what's possible in diagnostics and drug discovery. LaĂs's team has already demonstrated detection of an Alzheimer's biomarker in blood plasma, head and neck cancer DNA, and dengue and COVID in real clinical samples. Their next step: a multiplexed microfluidic platform for measuring binding affinity in drug discovery pipelines, where small molecules and fragments currently fall below the noise floor of existing tools.
And at the edge of all of it: a question neither of us could fully answer. If electron-level coherence is what makes this sensing possible â does that same coherence scale upward through biology? Is health, at some level, a coherence problem too?
LaĂs says she doesn't know. I think that's the most honest and interesting place to leave it.
Topics covered:
Quantum capacitance vs. geometric capacitance â and why the distinction matters for sensingGraphene, peptides, gold interfaces, and impedance spectroscopyDetecting Alzheimer's biomarkers in blood plasma without lumbar punctureWhy small molecules fall into noise in standard drug discovery assays â and how quantum electrochemistry sidesteps thatBuilding Qniti: from academic IP to venture-backed deep techThe coherence bet: electrons, biology, and the question Thomas can't stop askingHost & Guests

Entangled Health with Thomas Ehmer is a long-form podcast and research-media project exploring quantum biology, quantum computing, AI, biotechnology, consciousness research, and the future of medicine.
We distinguish established evidence, emerging research, and frontier hypotheses.Quantum reservoir computing, classical echo state networks, and the future of AI in healthcare â explored in this Entangled Health Experiments episode. We trace the path from biological time series (ECG, EEG, glucose, voice) through reservoir computing, NG-RC, and quantum dynamics, asking whether intelligence is something we build or something matter already does. Part of the Entangled Health Experiments mini-series, with a companion six-part Substack series.
This episode is part of Entangled Health Experiments â a special mini-series where we deliberately stress-test ideas in public with tools like Perplexity and NotebookLM as thinking partners. No polished keynote, no finished answers, just live exploration of hard questions at the intersection of quantum science, computation, and health.
In this session, we follow one of the most underappreciated threads in computational medicine: reservoir computing from its classical origins to its quantum frontier and end on a question that refuses to go away: if a bucket of water, an optical fibre loop, a neuromorphic chip, or a handful of quantum spins can process information and remember the past, are we building intelligence, or just learning how to tap into something matter already does?
Read more on substack 6-Part Article: https://thomasehmer1.substack.com/p/i-built-something-here-is-what-it
What we cover:
Why biological time series are so hard. ECG, EEG, continuous glucose monitoring, voice, multi-omics â they are nonstationary, multiscale, noisy, and label-poor. Standard deep learning architectures (LSTM, Transformer) were not designed for this regime.Reservoir computing as an alternative. Echo state networks, liquid state machines, and next-generation reservoir computing (NG-RC) separate dynamics from learning: fix the reservoir, train only a linear readout. Fast, small-data-friendly, interpretable.
Quantum reservoir computing (QRC). What the exponential Hilbert space actually buys you â and where the encoding bottleneck and dissipation requirement quietly constrain it. Seven qubits matching hundreds of classical neurons is real. But the "2âż" story requires careful unpacking.
The dissipation paradox. Why today's noisy NISQ hardware is sometimes structurally better for reservoir computing than tomorrow's fault-tolerant machines â and what that means for the hardware road

We distinguish established evidence, emerging research, and frontier hypotheses.
Yuval Boger is one of the most recognised voices in quantum computing - Chief Commercial Officer at QuEra, host of 200+ episodes of the Superposition Guy or other podcast, violinist who once tuned the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and creator of Quantessa and Atomique, two fictional characters who say the things Yuval can't quite say as himself.In this conversation we don't start where you'd expect.
We start with a photo. Violin raised. Back to the audience. A caption that says I'm just tuning. And a question about what it actually costs to stand in front of something extraordinary and tell yourself you're only there in a supporting role.
From there - four states of superposition: physicist, operator, communicator, creator. What a master's thesis in fibre optics has to do with the PoincarĂŠ sphere and the Bloch sphere. Why Shor's algorithm won't run on anything meaningful tomorrow - and why that's fine. What chronic uncertainty does to the person behind the CCO title. And what Quantessa and Atomique are really allowed to say.
Underneath all of it, one question: what does it actually cost to spend years positioning yourself as the support act?
One question was selected by a real quantum algorithm from the community. As always.
(We made it two, and have a featured Guest question, too)What we cover:
Why quantum computers are toys today â and why that's the honest answerPlaying a violin solo with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra as an amateurThe Kellogg School, a master's in physics, and the advisor who said "don't do the PhD"200+ episodes of interviewing competitors â without asking for permissionHow Quantessa and Atomique were built, and what they're actually forThe LEGO quantum computer (yes, you can buy one)What chronic uncertainty does to you â not the executive, youFind Yuval:

We distinguish established evidence, emerging research, and frontier hypotheses.Does standard chemistry miss the true nature of life?
Dr. Keeper Sharkey joins Entangled Health to explore where hard quantum chemistry meets lived consciousness. Keeper is a quantum chemist and founder of ODE, L3C, a social enterprise using quantum algorithms and high-accuracy molecular simulations to tackle real-world problems, from materials science to cybersecurity.
In this episode, we challenge a 100-year-old scientific dogma: the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, which treats atomic nuclei as simple classical objects. Keeper reveals how treating nuclei as truly quantum entities changes our understanding of biology, drug discovery, and even the nature of the self.
The Isotope Effect: Why only one specific isotope of lithium works as an antidepressantâand what that means for mental health at the atomic level.Quantum Biology in Action: How the potassium pump in your muscles relies on precise mass and spin effects.The Physics of Being: Can a perfectly uniform universe (like the early cosmos) be self-aware? Or does consciousness require difference and boundary?Beyond the Approximation: Why âconfused electronsâ in standard models might be missing the full picture of life.ODE for Social Good: Using quantum computing to solve human problems, not just abstract equations.
We discuss:This conversation weaves between equations and experience. From calculating electron density to asking whether we are material systems having thoughts, or thoughts shaping material.

Identity is electromagnetic. Dr. Neil Theise â liver pathologist, complexity theorist, Zen practitioner, and author of Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being â explains how hearts entrain to each other's fields, how couples synchronize bioelectromagnetically, and why losing social recognition can trigger an existential crisis. From his recent expat move to Lisbon to the discovery of the interstitium as a body-wide organ system, Neil reveals the physics and complexity theory underlying selfhood and connection.âWe explore Zen meditation's role in scientific insight, why GĂśdel showed that some truths can only be known through intuition, shamanic initiation as a way of "learning to trust what you know," and how Neil's highly anxious mother transformed in her final years into someone living fully in the now. We also touch on endâofâlife dreams and visions â the âvisitationsâ with deceased loved ones that around 90% of hospice patients report â and what they might mean for consciousness at the edge of death.â

n this episode, clinical psychologist and biofield researcher Dr. Shamini Jain reveals how cutting-edge science is validating what healers have known for millennia: consciousness, intention, and sound directly shape our biology. From Woo to True.What is a biofield?
A field of energy and information surrounding living system, measurable through heart-brain synchronization, heart-rate variability (HRV), and physiological coherence. But biofield science isn't mystical; it's the intersection of quantum biology, neuroscience, and consciousness studies.
The conversation covers:
Coherence as measurable phenomenon
âPsychological coherence: internal cohesion with your emotions, relationships, and valuesâPhysiological coherence: synchronized heart rhythms between people, even at a distance (hyperscanning research)âHeart-brain coherence: the measurable connection between cardiac and neural oscillationsâWhy HeartMath's research on coherence is gaining mainstream acceptanceâ Healing mechanisms: From placebo to salutogenesis
âHow intention, ritual, expectation, and conditioning activate the body's self-healing capacityâSalutogenesis: the process of healing (vs. pathogenesis, the process of disease)âWhy energy healers say "I'm not doing anythingâI'm a conduit"âMeasurable physiological shifts: cancer cells, heart-rate variability, autonomic nervous system toneâ The science of distant healing
âResearch on intention effects at a distanceâDean Radin's random event generator studies during meditationâShamanic healing traditions and their physiological validationâWhy biofield science challenges reductionist medicineâ Sound as medicine
âHow chanting, mantras, and singing shift nervous system stateâThe four levels of sound (Vedic understanding):âŚVaikhari (spoken word)
âŚMadhyama (mental speech)
âŚPashyanti (light, intuitive knowing)
âŚPara (transcendent, soundless vibration)
âPhysiological effects: oxytocin, endogenous opioids, vagal tone activationâShamini's album KaliYuga Blues and ecstatic singing at Iron Maiden tributesWhy this changes medicine
âMoving from "woo to true": the mission to validate ancient healing practices through modern scienceâConsciousness and healing initiatives: measuring what was previously unmeasurableâThe implications for individualized, intention-based medicineâHow recognizing our deep interconnectionâwith each other and the earthârevolutionizes biologyDr. Shamini Jain's mission is to build a science of healing that honors both rigorous measurement and the wisdom of ancient traditions. Her work bridges quantum biology, heart-brain research, and contemplative practiceâproving that consciousness is not separate from matter, but fundamental to healing.
Why listen? If healing is measurable, if intention matters, if your consciousness shapes your bodyâthen everything changes about how we approach medicine, therapy, and human potential.

Dive into the groundbreaking "Entangled Health Celebration Series" â an experimental podcast episode that weaves together 13 visionary voices from quantum computing, biotech, AI, consciousness research, and beyond. Forget silos: hear how entanglement across disciplines unlocks the future of health, from drug discovery walls to mind-body mysteries.âCold Open Hook
"You've just heard 13 voices talking at once. It sounds like chaos, but it isn't. It's entanglement." â Thomas, host. This radical remix challenges: What if the best answers emerge not from one expert, but from interconnected minds?âEpisode Highlights
Quantum Sledgehammers: Gopal Karmore (IBM) on solving molecular simulations in hours vs. years; Azalosia team's quantum-AI for aging prediction using multi-omics data.âSensing the Unseen: Clarice D'Aiello on quantum biology's magnetic fields in cells; Sadegh Ibrahimi on detecting biofields and ancient wisdom validated by new tech.âMind-Matter Frontiers: Dean Radin on psi research and anomalies; Paul Werbos (backpropagation inventor) reconciling souls with math; Ravi Kiron on placebo, Ayurveda, and entangled pharma.âCreative Entanglements: Eduardo Miranda's brain-computer music for paralyzed artists; Sergio Gago (Cloudera CTO) on AI agents, robotics for elder care; Gabriela Cimpan (Quantinuum) on personalized health interdependencies.âInterdisciplinary Call: Quantum Dragon warns of crackpots; Clarice urges bio-physics-AI dialogues to break "big lie" silos.âThis 40 min episode experiments beyond single-guest deep dives, spotlighting emergent insights on complex diseases, 8-12 year drug timelines costing $2B, quantum advantages in protein folding/clinical trials, and holistic health redefining WHO's well-being as physical-mental-social.â
Why Entangled Health?
As Gabriela notes: "Entangled health... overlapping and intercorrelated fields," echoing WHO: "complete physical, mental and social well-being." Ravi: "The future of healthcare is entangled... science, technology, and humanity woven together." Sergio: "What a time to be alive" amid exponential tech revolutions.âDisclaimers

âYou can be a hardcore realist and still believe in psychic phenomena... there is a kind of spiritual connection between us, and it is consistent with mathematical science.âEmbark on an extraordinary journey where the frontiers of quantum physics, consciousness, neural networks, and the inner life of humanity converge.
⪠This conversation aligns with Pope Leo XIV's "Magnifica Humanitas" encyclical (May 2026), warning that AI must serve humanityânot replace it. Paul Werbos, who invented the algorithm powering all AI, shares the same urgent message: conscious evolution is our only path forward.#MagnificaHumanitas #PopeLeoXIV #AIEthics #HumanDignity
In this unmissable Entangled Health episode, Thomas Ehmer sits down with Dr. Paul Werbos, legendary originator of the backpropagation algorithm, former NSF quantum director, and one of the boldest thinkers at the intersection of artificial intelligence, quantum theory, and spiritual intelligence. This is a long form and we dance around many topics for some 99 minutes - We have a "Best of" 31 minutes extract on Youbube - link below.
Dr. Werbosâs lifeâs work connects the deepest currents of science and consciousness. He takes us from his breakthrough at Harvardâwhere the quest to mathematically model the mind led to the algorithm that powers modern deep learningâthrough his pioneering years guiding quantum research at the National Science Foundation, and into his passionate investigations of the ânoosphere,â retrocausality, the quantum mind, and the existence of the soul. Along the way, Werbos explains why our deepest spiritual experiences may be entirely compatible with the latest mathematics of quantum realityâand why this synthesis could be essential for human health at the biological, psychological, and societal levels.
Youâll discover:
What it means to be âentangledâ in life, how Paul bridges physics, mind, and meaning, showing why our sense of connection is rooted in both quantum theory and ancient wisdom traditions.How Werbosâs career reveals the surprising origin of AIâs biggest innovation: âI was not trying to build better computersâI was trying to build a model of the mind.âWhy phenomena often regarded as mystical, the power of intention, the placebo effect, intuitive healing, the âchiâ of life, can, and must, be rigorously examined through both scientific and spiritual lenses.Insights into pausing technologyâs runaway risks, eliminating âstupid AI,â and building a future where the expansion of human consciousness guides the next leap in health, science, and ethics.The untold story of how true quantum annealing (tQuA) and novel retrocausal experiments could help revolutionize computational power and offer glimpses into the time-bending dimensions of consciousness.Perspectival wisdom on why âhealthâ - personal and planetary - isn't just about molecules or code but about the restoration and flourishing of our entangled connections, forward and backward in time.Through candid anecdotes, unexpected connections, and a willingness to speak truths neglected by mainstream science, Dr. Werbosâs perspective is both a challenge and an invitation - questioning the boundaries between matter and mind, causality and coincidence, health and wholeness.
If you are fascinated by quantum physics, AI, consciousness, and the ultimate nature of realityâor if you simply believe that great health is about more than physical wellnessâthis is the conversation that will change how you think about connection, survival, and the possible futures of our species.

Quantum computing meets realâworld risk in this wideâranging conversation with Sergio Gago, CTO at Cloudera, serial entrepreneur, guitarist, and the communityâs âquantum pirate,â exploring how financial risk models and AI agents could transform public health and decisionâmaking. Drawing on his journey from typing BASIC games off cassette magazines to selling a machineâlearning news analytics startup to Moodyâs, Sergio explains how he learned to extract real signal from noisy data and why explainability still matters when markets and patients depend on your models. You dig into how creditârisk thinking, Monte Carlo simulations, and quantum computing might apply to hospital capacity planning, stochastic disease trajectories, and drug development without promising magic âquantum advantageâ where it doesnât yet exist.The episode also looks closely at AI agents as future digital colleagues: where they can give CEOs and clinicians âJiminy Cricket on your shoulderâ superpowers, and where ontology, governance, and sovereignty become nonânegotiable. From embodied AI robots feeding patients and supporting lonely elders, to enterprise agents that actually understand roles, permissions, and tacit company knowledge, you stay anchored in whatâs operationally and ethically plausible rather than hype. Along the way, Sergio shares how music, curiosity, and surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you keep his beginnerâs mind alive inside large organizations.

His central argument: the difference between a doctor and an AI-empowered doctor is the same as the difference between a CEO with and without a Jiminy Cricket on their shoulder. Taking a proof-of-concept agent into enterprise-grade production is where almost everyone gets it wrong â and he's spent years figuring out exactly why.
