Distribution of metastable states of Ising spin glasses

Abstract

Local minima also known as inherent structures are expected to play an essential role for the behavior of spin glasses. Here, we propose techniques to efficiently sample these configurations in Monte Carlo simulations. For the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson model their spectra are determined and compared to analytical results.
