Constructive realization of self-referential prediction limits in quantum control: Resource bounds and Gödel-safe architectures

Salman Sajad Wani, Álvaro Perales-Eceiza, Saif Al-Kuwari +1

Programmable quantum control systems increasingly rely on predictive modules for certification, real-time feedback, and autonomous decision-making. This development raises a fundam…

A T-Fold Black Hole in Doubled Type IIB

Mir Faizal, Arshid Shabir

We construct an asymptotically flat T-fold representative of a four-dimensional dyonic black-hole charge orbit in doubled type-IIB theory. Starting from the F1-P-NS5-KKM toroidal s…

Euclid: Inferring star-formation history via cross-correlations of photometric clustering and shear with the cosmic infrared background

J. Han, S. Camera, M. Migliaccio +146

The cosmic infrared background, sourced by dust heated by star-forming activity, encodes the integrated history of the star-formation distribution over a large swathe of cosmic tim…
