Experimental study of work fluctuations in a harmonic oscillator

Sylvain Joubaud, Nicolas Garnier, Frédéric Douarche +2

The work fluctuations of a harmonic oscillator in contact with a thermostat and driven out of equilibrium by an external force are studied experimentally. For the work both the tra…

Work fluctuation theorems for harmonic oscillators

Frederic Douarche, Sylvain Joubaud, Nicolas B. Garnier +2

The work fluctuations of an oscillator in contact with a thermostat and driven out of equilibrium by an external force are studied experimentally and theoretically within the conte…

A simple proof of the Jarzynski equality?

Frédéric Douarche

In this short communication, I give a very simple derivation of the Jarzynski equality, which allows to compute the free energy difference of a body, which is driven between two eq…

Estimate of the free energy difference in mechanical systems from work fluctuations: experiments and models

Frederic Douarche, Sergio Ciliberto, Artem Petrosyan

The work fluctuations of an oscillator in contact with a heat reservoir and driven out of equilibrium by an external force are studied experimentally. The oscillator dynamics is mo…

An experimental test of the Jarzynski equality in a mechanical experiment

F. Douarche, S. Ciliberto, A. Petrosyan +1

We have experimentally checked the Jarzynski equality and the Crooks relation on the thermal fluctuations of a macroscopic mechanical oscillator in contact with a heat reservoir. W…

A Simple Denoising Technique

F. Douarche, L. Buisson, S. Ciliberto +1

The measurements of very low level signals at low frequency is a very difficult problem, because environmental noise increases in this frequency domain and it is very difficult to…
