Step into a truly unique episode of Entangled Health as we welcome the Quantum Dragon, a playful, wise, and endlessly curious character inspired by Brian Siegelwax, who proudly calls himself the "second least qualified person for quantum computing." This is not your typical expert interview. Instead, it’s a journey into the heart of quantum health, guided by a dragon who embraces confusion, asks the questions others are afraid to, and finds wisdom in not knowing all the answers.

In this episode, the Quantum Dragon shares how being born from Brian’s honest struggles with quantum mechanics shapes its approach to health and science. We explore why admitting confusion is a superpower, how always assuming you might be wrong leads to deeper understanding, and why the best breakthroughs often come from those who are willing to ask “silly” questions. The Dragon reveals the value of the beginner’s mind, the importance of community among learners, and the power of making quantum science accessible to everyone, no matter their background.

We dive into the intersection of quantum physics and biology, from quantum sensing and brain-computer interfaces to the mysteries of the mind-body connection. The Dragon explains why staying humble and curious is essential in a field where the unknown vastly outweighs the known. You’ll hear about the honest struggles with complex concepts, the joy of learning together, and the importance of finding explanations that speak your language, not just the language of math or academia.

Whether you’re a quantum expert, a healthcare professional, or simply quantum-curious, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt intimidated by revolutionary ideas. The Quantum Dragon reminds us that science is a journey, not a destination, and that sometimes, the best insights come from those brave enough to admit what they don’t know.

Join us for a conversation that’s part science, part philosophy, and entirely human, even when your guest is a dragon. Discover why confusion isn’t a weakness, but the beginning of true discovery.

Join me and physicist Sadegh Ebrahimi for a boundary-crossing conversation about quantum sensing, healthcare innovation, and the deeper connections that shape our world.

The structure: four acts and our question pool.

Act 1: The Origin (Personal Journey)

Act 2: Technology Meets Intuition (Technical Focus + Values)

Act 3: Wholeness Beyond Detection (Philosophical Reflection)

Act 4: Envisioning Connection (Future Vision + Community Engagement)

The question pool (Todays question was selected live by real quantum computing hardware - ibm_brisbane)

Sadegh shares his journey from Iran to pioneering atomic-level diagnostics at GSI Helmholtz Centre, revealing why he chose quantum sensing, not quantum computing, as healthcare’s true “silent revolution.” Discover how quantum sensors detect biomarkers with unprecedented precision, enabling non-invasive early disease detection and opening new frontiers in preventive medicine.

The dialogue explores the technical challenges of developing quantum sensors and the importance of intuition, personal values, and cultural heritage in scientific innovation.

Sadegh reflects on his experiences bridging physics and medicine, and the value of openness when confronting the limits of current scientific understanding. Together, Thomas and Sadegh discuss consciousness, higher dimensions, and the possibility of connections beyond what our current sensors can detect, including the potential for quantum sensing to unlock new forms of communication with nature and even consciousness itself.

Sadegh candidly shares moments of scientific humility, from early skepticism to embracing ancient wisdom, and advocates for a mindset that welcomes both rigorous science and spiritual curiosity. The conversation touches on quantum education, the need for updated learning systems, and the inspiring potential of children to grasp quantum concepts intuitively.

Looking ahead, Sadegh envisions a future where quantum sensing transforms not only healthcare but also how we interact with the world, enabling communication with plants, animals, and perhaps even the universe itself.

This episode is a co-creation, blending technical expertise with philosophical depth and personal storytelling. It invites listeners to explore the unseen, challenge conventional thinking, and embrace a more holistic vision of health, science, and human connection.

Welcome to the special teaser edition of Entangled Health—the podcast where quantum science, AI, biotechnology, and human well-being collide to shape the medicine of tomorrow.

I’m your host, Thomas Ehmer, and quite some years now I’ve worked at the intersection of cutting-edge physics, digital health, and real-world patient care. This show is born from a simple conviction: the most exciting breakthroughs in health happen at the “entangled” boundaries—where visionary thinking, bold science, and practical solutions meet.

What to Expect:

• Two Flavors, Infinite Possibilities:
  Each episode offers two distinct streams:

  • Innovation in Action: Hands-on stories from the lab and clinic, featuring master students, engineers, and startups using quantum algorithms to accelerate drug discovery, AI to predict diseases, and sensors to detect illness at the molecular level.

  • Deep Dive: Thought-provoking conversations with philosophers, clinicians, and system-shakers who challenge us to rethink what health, consciousness, and care truly mean in a quantum age.

• Guests from Every Corner:
  From Top Notch Scientist, World Class Engineers, Business expert and CEOs to lab rebels, healers, master students, and quantum-curious minds, we bring together the pioneers and disruptors who are reshaping how we understand and experience health.

Here’s the Twist—You Steer the Dialogue:
Entangled Health isn’t just another science podcast. It’s a living experiment in collective curiosity. Each episode, we invite you—the listener—to submit your questions via LinkedIn or as a comment under the episode. Whether you’re a student, a seasoned researcher, a healthcare professional, or just someone fascinated by the future, your voice matters.

But we don’t just pick questions at random. We use a real quantum algorithm—running on actual quantum hardware—to select which listener question gets answered on air. It’s not just chance; it’s quantum chance. And to keep the pool growing, every guest adds their own question for future guests, creating a chain of curiosity that weaves through the entire series.

Why Listen?

• Get a front-row seat to the conversations that are shaping the future of medicine and health.

• Hear from a diverse range of guests—students, doctors, entrepreneurs, philosophers, and industry leaders.

• Participate directly by submitting your own questions and ideas.

• Experience the thrill of quantum randomness in action as it decides which questions get answered.
