Pattern Expansion of Spin Glasses

Mutian Shen, Zohar Nussinov, Yang-Yu Liu

We introduce a systematic method for expanding general spin-glass Hamiltonians in terms of Mattis interactions, providing a novel perspective for understanding the fundamental diff…

Optimizing p-spin models through hypergraph neural networks and deep reinforcement learning

Li Zeng, Mutian Shen, Tianle Pu +5

p-spin glasses, characterized by frustrated many-body interactions beyond the conventional pairwise case (p>2), are prototypical disordered systems whose ground-state search is NP-…

The Physics of Local Optimization in Complex Disordered Systems

Mutian Shen, Gerardo Ortiz, Zhiqiao Dong +2

Limited resources motivate decomposing large-scale problems into smaller,``local" subsystems and stitching together the so-found solutions. We explore the physics underlying this a…

Reply to: Deep reinforced learning heuristic tested on spin-glass ground states: The larger picture

Changjun Fan, Mutian Shen, Zohar Nussinov +3

We wish to thank Stefan Boettcher for prompting us to further check and highlight the accuracy and scaling of our results. Here we provide a comprehensive response to the Comment w…

Universal fragility of spin-glass ground-states under single bond changes

Mutian Shen, Gerardo Ortiz, Yang-Yu Liu +2

We consider the effect of perturbing a single bond on ground-states of nearest-neighbor Ising spin-glasses, with a Gaussian distribution of the coupling constants, across various t…

Finding spin glass ground states through deep reinforcement learning

Changjun Fan, Mutian Shen, Zohar Nussinov +3

Spin glasses are disordered magnets with random interactions that are, generally, in conflict with each other. Finding the ground states of spin glasses is not only essential for t…
