Quantum Forecasting & Market Uncertainty — Lawrence Gasman
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.
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 Lawrence’s early encounters with the students of Alan Turing and the philosophy of Gödel, 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.
In this episode, we explore:
- The commercial trajectory of quantum AI and robotics
- Turing, Gödel, and the legacy of philosophy in mathematics
- How out-of-body experiences challenge a materialist worldview
- The intersection of quantum mechanics, biology, and consciousness (the Josephson influence)
- Why current LLMs lack the existential grounding of embodied consciousness
