The extreme slowing down associated with glass formation in experiments and in simulations results in serious difficulties to prepare deeply quenched, well annealed, glassy material. Recently, methods to achieve such deep quenching were proposed, including vapor deposition on the experimental side and “swap Monte Carlo” and oscillatory shearing on the simulation side. The relation between the resulting glasses under different protocols remains unclear. Here we show that oscillatory shear and swap Monte Carlo result in thermodynamically equivalent glasses sharing the same statistical mechanics and similar mechanical responses under external strain.

玻璃成型机中循环剪切和深冷的热力学等价物。

在实验和模拟中，与玻璃形成有关的极度减慢导致制备深度淬火，退火良好的玻璃态材料的严重困难。最近，提出了实现这种深度淬火的方法，包括在实验侧进行气相沉积，在模拟侧进行“交换蒙特卡洛”和振荡剪切。在不同协议下所得眼镜之间的关系仍然不清楚。在这里，我们显示出振荡剪切和交换蒙特卡洛导致热力学等效的玻璃在外部应变下具有相同的统计力学和相似的机械响应。
