Numerically Discovered Inherent States are Always Protocol Dependent in Jammed Packings
Eddie Bautista, Eric I. Corwin
The energy landscape for soft sphere packings exists in a high-dimensional space and plays host to an astronomical number of local minima in a hierarchical and ultrametric arrangem…
