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…
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…
On the work distribution for the adiabatic compression of a dilute classical gas
Gavin E. Crooks, Christopher Jarzynski
We consider the adiabatic and quasi-static compression of a dilute classical gas, confined in a piston and initially equilibrated with a heat bath. We find that the work performed…
