Nonequilibrium Equality for Free Energy Differences
Physical Review Letters · 1997 · Vol. 78(14) · pp. 2690–2693
Christopher Jarzynski✉(University of Washington)
Abstract
An expression is derived for the equilibrium free energy difference between two configurations of a system, in terms of an ensemble of finite-time measurements of the work performed in parametrically switching from one configuration to the other. Two well-known identities emerge as limiting cases of this result.
