Title:        Properties of Spin Glasses and their Mixing Times.

Abstract:    Statistical physics is a branch of physics that uses probability theory in order to model physical systems with large numbers of particles. Foundational concepts and models from this subject have been used in a wide variety of fields, including AI and big data. In this talk, I will explore the properties of spin glasses, a model of disordered magnetic systems. I will go over many fundamental aspects of the physical behavior of spin glasses and the mixing and speed of some dynamics on spin glasses.
