Insider Brief:
- Anders Indset and Dr. Florian Neukart explore how quantum physics, AI, and philosophy converge, framing the universe as an information-bearing system.
- Neukart introduces the Quantum Memory Matrix, a model suggesting that space-time itself retains information, linking quantum information with gravity to explain phenomena such as dark matter and black-hole dynamics.
- The discussion highlights real-world progress in hybrid quantum-classical computing, including experiments where small-scale qubit systems outperform classical models in medical imaging and optimization tasks.
- Neukart emphasizes the need for quantum-safe cryptography and proposes Artificial Human Intelligence (AHI) as a collaborative, ethics-driven approach to augment human reasoning.
In the latest episode of The Quantum Economy Podcast, host Anders Indset sits down with Dr. Florian Neukart, Chief Product Officer and Management Board Member at Terra Quantum and Professor at Leiden University, for a far-reaching discussion that connects quantum physics, artificial intelligence, and philosophy. Neukart, co-author of Ex Machina – The God Experiment and The Singularity Paradox, outlines a view of the universe as an information-bearing system, where computation and consciousness may be two sides of the same coin.
Prominent in the conversation is Neukart’s Quantum Memory Matrix, a theoretical framework proposing that space-time itself retains information. By linking quantum information and gravity, the model offers potential explanations for dark matter and the black-hole information paradox. Indset and Neukart use this lens to expand the concept of quantum computing beyond a race for qubit counts and toward a deeper understanding of how reality stores, processes, and evolves information.
From theory to application, the discussion turns to hybrid quantum-classical architectures and the growing evidence that practical quantum advantage is already emerging. Neukart points to recent experiments where just a handful of qubits, integrated into machine-learning algorithms, outperformed classical models in medical imaging tasks such as detecting fatty-liver disease from MRI data. Similar workflows in optimization, logistics, and cybersecurity are showing measurable gains, suggesting that quantum’s economic relevance is no longer hypothetical.
The episode also examines how the coming transition will test today’s security infrastructure. Neukart stresses the urgency of post-quantum cryptography and quantum random number generation to safeguard digital systems, alongside broader ethical questions posed by Artificial Human Intelligence, a concept he and Indset explore as a human-centric alternative to AGI. Rather than replacing people, AHI envisions technology that collaborates with human reasoning and intent, reinforcing trust and responsibility as computation grows more powerful.
This episode touches on:
- The Quantum Memory Matrix and the idea of a universe that stores information
- Breakthroughs in error correction and hybrid quantum-classical architectures
- Early commercial use cases from medical imaging to logistics optimization
- Quantum-safe encryption and digital-trust infrastructure
- Artificial Human Intelligence as an ethical and collaborative design paradigm

About the Host
Anders Indset is a Norwegian-born business thinker and investor known for bringing together philosophy and emerging technology. He is the author of The Quantum Economy, a book that examines how the logic of quantum computing, its uncertainty, entanglement, and probabilistic nature, can be applied to institutions and economies facing complexity and rapid change. His framework, Triangular Alchemy, proposes a new approach to organizational leadership in exponential times: balancing innovation (Forge), efficiency (Optimize), and investment (Scale) through anticipatory governance. His new book, The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI, is available now.
The podcast draws on this background while integrating real-time insights from global practitioners. It is not a promotional platform, but a curated forum for meaningful dialogue a
