Guido Peterssen and José Luis Hevia focus on the operational and organizational dimensions of quantum computing. They provide a compelling call to action: without robust governance, quantum computing projects will likely spiral into unmanageable complexity. Through a detailed case study of Bizkaia Quantum Advanced Industries (BIQAIN), the authors introduce the concept of the private quantum hub as a model for resource coordination, lifecycle management, and cost control across distributed quantum infrastructures.
This issue of Amplify explores the emerging discipline of quantum software engineering (QSE), highlighting the paradigm shift required to build, manage, and govern robust quantum software systems. Through expert contributions, it addresses foundational theory, architectural innovation, hybrid classical-quantum system design, operational governance, and the convergence of quantum computing with AI.
As Cutter Expert Curt Hall explores, AI is transforming legal systems worldwide, from AI-powered “smart judges” in China’s virtual courts to the UAE’s ambitious regulatory intelligence ecosystem designed to streamline lawmaking. These technologies promise greater efficiency, accessibility, and responsiveness in legal processes. However, they also raise critical concerns around bias, transparency, accountability, and overdependence on automation — highlighting the need for ethical frameworks and strong human oversight to ensure justice remains fair and grounded.
Legacy data management practices, where insights are delayed and decisions rely on instinct, are no longer sufficient in today's fast-paced business environment. To stay competitive, organizations must decentralize decision-making and ensure frictionless, timely access to data for all employees. As this Advisor explores, a strategic, tailored approach to data recency and accessibility will define future-ready enterprises.
With the business analytics market expected to double by 2033, organizations must move beyond descriptive and diagnostic analytics to predictive and prescriptive approaches that enable smarter decision-making, efficiency gains, and strategic agility in an increasingly data-driven world. This Advisor explores the evolving role of business analytics in transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive organizational value.
Orlando, Florida, is leveraging cutting-edge 3D technology to drive economic and community development through one of the world’s most comprehensive regional digital twins. The model recreates 40 square miles in high fidelity and is used by the Orlando Economic Partnership to attract businesses to the region. This Advisor looks at this interactive tool, which integrates data on demographics, infrastructure, and amenities, offering immersive experiences via tablets and VR headsets.
Cutter Expert Curt Hall explores small language models (SLMs), which are gaining attention for their ability to deliver advanced AI capabilities with lower computational costs than LLMs. Optimized for efficiency, SLMs excel in domain-specific applications like customer service, healthcare, finance, and retail, where real-time processing and reduced resource consumption are key.
In this Advisor, ADL’s Eystein Thanisch, Greg Smith, and Michael Papadopoulos question whether AI will deliver on its promised productivity gains. While GenAI has surged in prominence, real-world efficiency improvements remain elusive. To maximize AI’s potential, leaders must take a strategic, human-centric approach — analyzing how AI can enhance key roles while preserving the professional skills needed to harness it effectively.
