When does quantum computing actually start mattering to the real world?
Not when you get a quantum chip in your smartphone. As Chris Cassin puts it, "maybe the first time someone interacts with a quantum computer is when their bank gets hacked and they lose their savings."
Beyond the hype, the race to scale quantum is a race to reinvent our global digital infrastructure—starting at absolute zero.

Headlines love to celebrate quantum algorithms, but algorithms are useless without the physical infrastructure required to keep them alive. In this episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, Shambhavi Mishra sits down with Chris Cassin, CEO of Zero Point Cryogenics, for an honest look at the hardware bottlenecks holding back the industry. They explore the engineering behind dilution refrigerators operating near absolute zero, Canada’s strategic manufacturing edge, and the hybrid architecture that will define near-future enterprise data centers.

"The sun is powered by fusion processes, and one could say that it's been a dream of humanity to bring the sun down to Earth..."
On this week’s episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, Heike Freund (COO of @MarvelFusion) joins Christoph Klink to discuss how laser technology is bringing commercial fusion energy within reach.
Key takeaways from the conversation:
💡Solving fusion's product-market fit
💡Scaling deep tech in Europe & the US
💡Why fusion power plants could be on the grid in the next decade

“When fusion energy becomes available, will you be a supplier, a customer, or disrupted?”
On this week’s episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, Christoph Klink speaks to Heike Freund, COO of @MarvelFusion. Fresh off raising nearly $400M, Marvel Fusion is building a full-scale demonstrator facility in Colorado to commercialize laser fusion.
Heike explains why discussing fusion today is like talking about AI in 2013—and why corporate leaders need to prepare for an era of unlimited, carbon-free energy.

Where is the boundary for major AI models in healthcare?
On this week’s episode of The Further, Faster Podcast, @glassruss breaks down how general AI platforms and specialized healthtech companies occupy very different spaces.
Foundation models like OpenAI and Anthropic generally stick to informational roles rather than taking on clinical risk or owning patient outcomes.
According to Russell, for healthtech founders, that distinction opens up significant opportunity. Building solutions that stand behind clinical care and manage outcomes creates room to innovate without direct overlap from general AI models. Listen to the full conversation now.
