The Quantum Leap in Health and Medicine

In this week’s episode of Time to Talk Quantum [TTQ], Firgun Ventures co-founder Dr Kris Naudts is joined by Dr Lara Jehi & Professor John Morton to discuss all things quantum and health. The conversation examines how quantum could unlock new approaches to drug discovery, diagnostics, and complex problem-solving. As data outgrows classical systems, quantum offers a path to simulate biology, accelerate innovation, and rethink what’s possible. The episode also looks at what it will take to scale: from hardware and algorithms to talent, infrastructure, and early demand. With growing global momentum and new UK investment; the question is no longer if, but how quickly these technologies will start to deliver impact.Available to watch on YouTubeEpisode Themes: Quantum & Drug Discovery How Far Can Quantum Take Healthcare? New Investment If you enjoyed this episode, please like, comment, and share. Follow TTQ Podcast on social media: Instagram: @timetotalkquantum  TikTok: @timetotalkquantum X @talk_quantum About the guests: Dr Lara Jehi is the Chief Research Information Officer at Cleveland Clinic and Professor of Neurology at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine.
