Florian Neukart is an Austrian business executive, computer scientist, physicist, and scientific author known for his work in quantum computing and artificial intelligence. [1] [2] [3] [4] He has primarily been working on utilizing quantum computers, artificial intelligence, and related technologies for solving industry problems. [5] [6] In his work on artificial intelligence, he describes methods for interpreting signals in the human brain in combination with paradigms from artificial intelligence to create artificial conscious entities. [7] [8]
Neukart holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the Transilvania University of Brasov and master's degrees in physics, information technology, and computer science from the Liverpool John Moores University, CAMPUS02 University of Applied Sciences and the Joanneum University of Applied Sciences. [9] [10] [11]
He is a member of the Board of Management at Terra Quantum AG, [12] and previously worked as Director, Advanced Technologies and IT Innovation at Volkswagen Group of America, where he was concerned with research in the fields of quantum computing, [13] [14] quantum machine learning, [15] artificial intelligence, [16] [17] and materials science. [18] [19] Neukart, born in Bruck/Mur, was also a member of the World Economic Forum's global future council on quantum computing, [20] and an assistant professor for quantum computing at Leiden University. [21] [22] [23]
He is the author of the books "Reverse Engineering the Mind: Consciously Acting Machines and Accelerated Evolution", [24] in which he elaborates on establishing a symbiotic relationship between a biological brain, sensors, AI, and quantum hard- and software, resulting in solutions for the continuous consciousness problem as well as other state-of-the-art problems, and "Humankind's Hunger for Energy: The journey of a million years, from using flints to harvesting galaxies", [25] in which he describes the evolution of humankind in terms of its energy consumption. He is the co-editor of the book "Chancen und Risiken der Quantentechnologien", [26] in which the potential and the risks of quantum technologies for society and industry are discussed.
He also co-authored The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI (2024), in which he introduces the concept of Artificial Human Intelligence (AHI)—an evolution of humans into artificial beings by keeping the human essence, integrating neuroscience, AI, and philosophical inquiry. [27] In 2025, he published Ex Machina: The God Experiment, a book exploring whether the universe is a simulation by examining the computability of natural laws through philosophical argument and physical evidence, both co-authored with philosopher Anders Indset. [28]
He is the originator of the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM), a framework proposing that space–time is composed of Planck-scale quantum memory cells capable of encoding and preserving quantum information. [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] This framework proposes a unitarily evolving model of gravity and information, with experimental applications to quantum error correction and cosmology.
