We propose a new global optimization method ({\em Simulated Tempering}) for simulating effectively a system with a rough free energy landscape (i.e. many coexisting states) at finite non-zero temperature. This method is related to simulated annealing, but here the temperature becomes a dynamic variable, and the system is always kept at equilibrium. We analyze the method on the Random Field Ising Model, and we find a dramatic improvement over conventional Metropolis and cluster methods. We analyze and discuss the conditions under which the method has optimal performances.

  1. Active Particle Doping Suppresses Brittle Failure in Ultrastable Glasses

    cond-mat.soft 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Active particles are claimed to make ultrastable glasses yield homogeneously with multiple shear bands instead of failing brittlely, though the manuscript body provided is a different paper.

  2. Non-perturbative renormalization of the energy momentum tensor in the 2d O(3) nonlinear sigma model

    hep-lat 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The authors determine the renormalization constants z_T and Z_T for the energy-momentum tensor in the non-singlet sector using a modified lattice action with shifted boundary conditions and gradient-flow coupling.
