However, the properties of the resulting solid do a priori strongly depend on the preparation history. This can lead to substantial aging of the material; for example, properties such as mechanical moduli and transport coefficients rely on the time elapsed since solidification, which can lead to a slow degradation of the material in technological applications. It is therefore important to understand under which conditions random monomer bonding can lead to stable solid states, that is, long-lived metastable states whose properties do not change over time. This work presents a theoretical and computational analysis of this problem and introduces a random bonding procedure that ensures the proper equilibration of the resulting amorphous states. Our procedure also provides a new route to investigate the fundamental properties of glassy energy landscapes by producing translationally invariant ultrastable glassy states in simple particle models. %G English %L hal-04721895 %U https://hal.science/hal-04721895 %~ ENS-PARIS %~ UGA %~ CNRS %~ INPG %~ L2C %~ LIPHY %~ PSL %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SORBONNE-UNIV %~ LPENS %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UNIVERSITE-PARIS %~ UP-SCIENCES %~ ENS-PSL %~ UGA-EPE %~ SU-TI %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ UM-EPE
