Description
The fluctuation theorem quantifies the distribution of reversible and irreversible system trajectories, while the work relation connects a weighted average of the work with the free energy change for a system. Both are unusual in that they apply exactly to non-equilibrium thermodynamic systems. The aim of this work is to study the connection between these two theorems, both in theory and application. First, a general derivation of the fluctuation theorem and...[Show more]
