Computer-Intractability of the Frustration Model of a Spin Glass

. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 17 (13): L709 (1984)

Abstract

The author proves that finding a ground state of the three-dimensional frustration model of a spin glass is an NP-complete optimisation problem, and hence probably intractable in the sense that no algorithm requiring a time bounded by a polynomial of the volume can exactly solve it.
