For many real spin-glass materials, the Edwards-Anderson model with continuous-symmetry spins is more realistic than the rather better understood Ising variant. In principle, the nature of an occurring spin-glass phase in such systems might…

A major obstacle to non-convex optimization is the problem of getting stuck in local minima. We introduce a novel metaheuristic to handle this issue, creating an alternate Hamiltonian that shares minima with the original Hamiltonian only…
Spin squeezing serves as both a fundamental witness of quantum entanglement and a critical resource for quantum-enhanced metrology. While generating substantial spin squeezing in finite-range interacting systems remains challenging, such…
