A Conceptual Dissertation on Qubits: Colour Spectrum, Light–Dark Dualities, and Ranges of Potency
This study presents a conceptual re-examination of qubits through an integrative framework that combines colour spectrum representation, light–dark dualities, and ranges of quantum potency. While conventional quantum information theory describes qubits using mathematical formalisms such as state vectors and Bloch sphere geometry, these representations often remain abstract and difficult to interpret intuitively. To address this limitation, the paper proposes a multidimensional conceptual model that translates quantum states into visually and philosophically interpretable constructs. The colour spectrum model interprets probability amplitudes and phase relationships as continuous spectral variations, enabling a more intuitive understanding of superposition and interference. Complementing this, the light–dark duality framework distinguishes between observable and latent quantum states, offering a structured perspective on measurement, decoherence, and entanglement behavior. Furthermore, the concept of quantum potency is introduced as a qualitative measure of a qubit’s informational capacity, stability, and computational relevance, providing a new lens for evaluating quantum states across different physical and algorithmic contexts. The integration of these three dimensions forms a unified Spectrum–Duality–Potency framework that enhances the interpretability of quantum systems without compromising theoretical rigor. This approach not only bridges the gap between abstract quantum mechanics and conceptual understanding but also supports advancements in quantum education, visualization, and interdisciplinary research. The proposed framework lays the groundwork for future extensions into multi-qubit systems, quantum machine learning, and human-centric quantum system design.

Adaptive Query Optimization in Kubernetes Orchestrated Open Source Relational Databases Using Telemetry Driven Feedback Loops
Relational query optimization has traditionally relied on static cost models built upon cardinality estimation and predefined access path selection strategies. While adaptive query processing techniques have improved robustness against data skew and runtime uncertainty, most open-source relational database systems remain largely unaware of infrastructure-level variability introduced by cloud-native orchestration platforms. In Kubernetes-managed environments, elastic scaling, pod migration, and multi-tenant resource contention frequently invalidate optimizer assumptions, resulting in suboptimal execution plans and performance instability. This study proposes a telemetry-driven adaptive query optimization framework for Kubernetes-orchestrated open-source relational databases. The proposed architecture integrates fine-grained query execution metrics, cluster-level resource telemetry, and feedback control mechanisms to continuously refine cost models and selectively trigger re-optimization during runtime. By establishing a cross-layer communication channel between the database engine and the orchestration layer, the system dynamically responds to workload fluctuations and resource elasticity. Experimental evaluation under variable workload intensities and scaling scenarios demonstrates significant reductions in query latency variance, improved cardinality estimation accuracy, and enhanced cluster resource utilization efficiency. The results indicate that telemetry-guided feedback loops provide a practical pathway toward autonomic, cloud-aware relational database systems. This work advances the integration of adaptive query processing with containerized infrastructure management and contributes toward the realization of fully self-optimizing, Kubernetes-native database architectures.

Designing for Scale: API-First Architectural Patterns for Resilient Enterprise Systems
The rapid growth of distributed enterprise systems and cloud-native platforms has intensified the demand for integration strategies that are not only scalable but also maintainable and resilient in the face of continuous change. Within this context, API-first development has emerged as a foundational architectural approach, emphasizing the design of application programming interfaces as primary, long-lived contracts rather than incidental byproducts of implementation. By defining clear interface boundaries, interaction semantics, and non-functional expectations upfront, API-first practices enable parallel development, reduce coupling between services, and support independent evolution of system components. This article examines core API-first development patterns that enable scalable enterprise workloads, drawing on established REST architectural principles, contract-driven design methodologies, and service-oriented evolution. Through a synthesis of foundational research, industry standards, and widely adopted design models published between 2000 and 2015, the discussion demonstrates how API-first strategies enhance horizontal scalability, enforce governance and consistency across large service ecosystems, and promote long-term adaptability in heterogeneous enterprise environments characterized by rapid technological and organizational change.

Intelligent DevOps and Artificial Intelligence–Driven Continuous Delivery Framework for Secure Enterprise and Logistics Platforms
Modern enterprise applications demand rapid deployment, high availability, and robust security across dynamic cloud-native and on-premise environments. Traditional DevOps pipelines focus on automation and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) but often lack intelligent mechanisms for proactive security, anomaly detection, and predictive resource management. This research proposes an intelligent DevOps and artificial intelligence (AI) driven continuous delivery architecture for secure enterprise applications. The framework integrates AI-driven predictive analytics, automated testing, dynamic resource allocation, and security monitoring into CI/CD pipelines to ensure secure, resilient, and efficient delivery. Core components include AI-based anomaly detection, automated code and configuration analysis, intelligent orchestration of deployment workflows, and real-time compliance checks. Experimental evaluation on simulated enterprise applications demonstrates reduced deployment errors, improved system reliability, and enhanced security posture compared to conventional CI/CD pipelines. By integrating AI into DevOps processes, the architecture supports proactive threat mitigation, adaptive pipeline optimization, and continuous security enforcement. This research contributes a comprehensive approach to intelligent, secure, and automated continuous delivery for enterprise applications, bridging the gap between operational efficiency and security compliance in modern DevOps environments.

AI Driven Zero Trust Security Model for Enterprise Data Protection and Intelligent Infrastructure Management
The increasing complexity of enterprise IT environments, coupled with the rise of cloud adoption, remote work, and sophisticated cyber threats, has exposed traditional perimeter-based security models as insufficient for protecting sensitive enterprise data. Zero Trust Security (ZTS) has emerged as a robust framework emphasizing continuous verification, least-privilege access, and granular security policies to safeguard organizational assets. When combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI), Zero Trust models can become more adaptive, predictive, and proactive in detecting and mitigating security threats. This research proposes an AI-driven Zero Trust Security model designed to enhance enterprise data protection and intelligent infrastructure management. The framework integrates AI-powered analytics, machine learning-based anomaly detection, behavioral monitoring, and automated policy enforcement across enterprise networks, cloud platforms, and critical infrastructure components. By continuously analyzing user behavior, network traffic, and system interactions, the system identifies potential security breaches, enforces dynamic access controls, and reduces the attack surface. The research methodology includes architectural modeling, simulation of enterprise scenarios, and performance evaluation against traditional security approaches. Results demonstrate that AI-enhanced Zero Trust architectures significantly improve threat detection accuracy, automate compliance management, and optimize security policies for dynamic enterprise environments. This model supports intelligent infrastructure management while ensuring robust data protection, regulatory compliance, and resilience against emerging cyber threats.
