Soft annealing: A new approach to difficult computational problems
Nicolas Sourlas
I propose a new method to study computationally difficult problems. I consider a new system, larger than the one I want to simulate. The original system is recovered by imposing co…

Scale Invariance and Self-averaging in disordered systems
Giorgio Parisi, Marco Picco, Nicolas Sourlas
In a previous paper we found that in the random field Ising model at zero temperature in three dimensions the correlation length is not self-averaging near the critical point and t…

Statistical Mechanics and error-correction Codes
Nicolas Sourlas
I will show that there is a deep relation between error-correction codes and certain mathematical models of spin glasses. In particular minimum error probability decoding is equiva…
