“…It appears that deeper states in the landscape, corresponding to better optimized glasses, have less and less the low energy excitations, reflecting in smaller and smaller values of A 4 , and correspondingly, the excitations are more and more localized [12,13]. This spectrum of localized modes was first rationalized through phenomenological theories [14,15], while new predictions have recently enriched the picture [11][12][13][16][17][18][19]. In addition to typical ungapped minima, found by usual minimization protocols, it has been noticed in [20] that in some model glasses gapped mimima can be found through the use of smart minimization protocols that include particle swap [21,22].…”
