Spin glasses and frustration

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The 1975 EA paper by Sam Edwards and Phil Anderson proposed to understand a class of real materials as frustrated, glassy magnets with a novel type of weak order in time. It launched an exciting period of intense exploration of new directions for understanding random and composite materials. This work has had a lasting impact well beyond materials science, contributing powerful new methods for optimization of complex many-parameter systems as well as codes offering Shannon-bounded communications in extremely noisy channels.
