  1. The generation probabilities of the majority and the minority derived from a total of 1500 measurements. The probabilities of S1 and S2 in the VS group with cp=1 and S3 and S4 in the VS group with cp=−1 are displayed, respectively. The errors represent the standard deviation in generation probabilities of VSs for 30 nanodisks.
