Memory formation in matter

Abstract

Many forms of memory can be stored in the materials around us. Examples are hysteresis in magnets, aging and rejuvenation in glasses, shape memory in alloys, and echoes in spin systems and capillary waves. Once the material is fully equilibrated, memory of the system's initial conditions or previous history is completely lost. Memory is thus intimately connected to out-of-equilibrium behavior. This paper reviews examples where specific inputs can be stored in condensed-matter systems and then retrieved by appropriate protocols. It describes some common principles and questions that emerge from looking for the underlying shared elements in these apparently disparate systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
