Description:
Author(s): G. Zhang, F. H. Stillinger, and S. Torquato The nature of the ground state of a disordered system has intrigued physicists for decades. In this work, the authors show how it is possible to obtain a glass whose disordered ground state has zero enumeration entropy, also called a perfect glass. Although a perfect glass is an idealization not achievable in practice, the authors shed light on the types of many-body interactions that lead to a unique disordered ground state, which could guide experimentalists in the future.
