Spin Glasses: Still Complex After All These Years?
Disordered Systems and Neural Networks

Abstract
Spin glasses are magnetic systems exhibiting both quenched disorder and frustration, and have often been cited as examples of `complex systems.' In this talk I review some of the basic notions of spin glass physics, and discuss how some of our recent progress in understanding their properties might lead to new viewpoints of how they manifest `complexity'.
