The length of time's arrow
Edward H. Feng, Gavin E. Crooks
An unresolved problem in physics is how the thermodynamic arrow of time arises from an underlying time reversible dynamics. We contribute to this issue by developing a measure of t…
Bayesian estimates of free energies from nonequilibrium work data in the presence of instrument noise
Paul Maragakis, Felix Ritort, Carlos Bustamante +2
The Jarzynski equality and the fluctuation theorem relate equilibrium free energy differences to non-equilibrium measurements of the work. These relations extend to single-molecule…
Quantum Operation Time Reversal
Gavin E. Crooks
The dynamics of an open quantum system can be described by a quantum operation, a linear, complete positive map of operators. Here, I exhibit a compact expression for the time reve…
On the Quantum Jarzynski Identity
Gavin E. Crooks
In this note, we will discuss how to compactly express and prove the Jarzynski identity for an open quantum system with dissipative dynamics. We will avoid explicitly measuring the…
An Alternative Model of Amino Acid Replacement
Gavin E. Crooks, Steven E. Brenner
The observed correlations between pairs of homologous protein sequences are typically explained in terms of a Markovian dynamic of amino acid substitution. This model assumes that…
