We carefully investigate the two fundamental assumptions in the Stillinger-Weber analysis of the inherent structures (ISs) in the energy landscape and come to conclude that they cannot be validated. This explains some of the conflicting results between their conclusions and some recent rigorous and exact results. Our analysis shows that basin free energies, and not ISs, are useful for understanding glasses.

A recent 3-XORSAT challenge required to minimize a very complex and rough energy function, typical of glassy models with a random first order transition and a golf course like energy landscape. We present the ideas beyond the quasi-greedy algorithm a
nd its very efficient implementation on GPUs that are allowing us to rank first in such a competition. We suggest a better protocol to compare algorithmic performances and we also provide analytical predictions about the exponential growth of the times to find the solution in terms of free-energy barriers.
We develop a statistical mechanical approach based on the replica method to study the design space of deep and wide neural networks constrained to meet a large number of training data. Specifically, we analyze the configuration space of the synaptic
weights and neurons in the hidden layers in a simple feed-forward perceptron network for two scenarios: a setting with random inputs/outputs and a teacher-student setting. By increasing the strength of constraints,~i.e. increasing the number of training data, successive 2nd order glass transition (random inputs/outputs) or 2nd order crystalline transition (teacher-student setting) take place layer-by-layer starting next to the inputs/outputs boundaries going deeper into the bulk with the thickness of the solid phase growing logarithmically with the data size. This implies the typical storage capacity of the network grows exponentially fast with the depth. In a deep enough network, the central part remains in the liquid phase. We argue that in systems of finite width N, the weak bias field can remain in the center and plays the role of a symmetry-breaking field that connects the opposite sides of the system. The successive glass transitions bring about a hierarchical free-energy landscape with ultrametricity, which evolves in space: it is most complex close to the boundaries but becomes renormalized into progressively simpler ones in deeper layers. These observations provide clues to understand why deep neural networks operate efficiently. Finally, we present some numerical simulations of learning which reveal spatially heterogeneous glassy dynamics truncated by a finite width $N$ effect.
We study the distribution of the minimum free energy (MFE) for the Turner model of pseudoknot free RNA secondary structures over ensembles of random RNA sequences. In particular, we are interested in those rare and intermediate events of unexpected l
ow MFEs. Generalized ensemble Markov-chain Monte Carlo methods allow us to explore the rare-event tail of the MFE distribution down to probabilities like $10^{-70}$ and to study the relationship between the sequence entropy and structural properties for sequence ensembles with fixed MFEs. Entropic and structural properties of those ensembles are compared with natural RNA of the same reduced MFE (z-score).
Fossil amber offers the unique opportunity of investigating an amorphous material which has been exploring its energy landscape for more than 110 Myears of natural aging. By applying different x-ray scattering methods to amber before and after anneal
ing the sample to erase its thermal history, we identify a link between the potential energy landscape and the structural and vibrational properties of glasses. We find that hyperaging induces a depletion of the vibrational density of states in the THz region, also ruling the sound dispersion and attenuation properties of the corresponding acoustic waves. Critically, this is accompanied by a densification with structural implications different in nature from that caused by hydrostatic compression. Our results, rationalized within the framework of fluctuating elasticity theory, reveal how upon approaching the bottom of the potential energy landscape (9% decrease in the fictive temperature $T_f$) the elastic matrix becomes increasingly less disordered (6%) and longer-range correlated (22%).
Landaus theory of phase transitions is adapted to treat independently relaxing regions in complex systems using nanothermodynamics. The order parameter we use governs the thermal fluctuations, not a specific static structure. We find that the entropy
term dominates the thermal behavior, as is reasonable for disordered systems. Consequently, the thermal equilibrium occurs at the internal-energy maximum, so that the minima in a potential-energy landscape have negligible influence on the dynamics. Instead the dynamics involves normal thermal fluctuations about the free-energy minimum, with a time scale that is governed by the internal-energy maximum. The temperature dependence of the fluctuations yields VTF-like relaxation rates and approximate time-temperature superposition, consistent with the WLF procedure for analyzing the dynamics of complex fluids; while the size dependence of the fluctuations provides an explanation for the distribution of relaxation times and heterogeneity that are found in glass-forming liquids, thus providing a unified picture for several features in the dynamics of disordered materials.
