Spin glasses

States of matter in which magnetic moments settle into disordered, effectively frozen orientations. They are studied both as a condensed-matter problem and as a mathematical stand-in for hard optimisation problems.

Quantum fluctuations melt a spin glass into SYK criticality in a new PRL solution

At very low temperature, quantum fluctuations can unfreeze a spin glass instead of locking it tighter, and the state on the other side is the fast, entangled one the SYK model uses to describe black holes.
