Entropic noise-induced nonequilibrium transition.
TLDR
It is shown that a system of Brownian particles confined in a two-dimensional bilobal enclosure may undergo an entropic noise-induced transition when the shape of the stationary probability density changes qualitatively from bimodal to trimodal type under the influence of a multiplicative noise.
Shape change as entropic phase transition: A study using Jarzynski relation#
AbstractA Brownian particle in a confined space with varying cross-section, experiences an effective entropic potential in reduced dimension. We modulate the shape of the confinement and examine the…

TLDR
It is shown that the distribution of work required to drive the system from an initial equilibrium state to another is Gaussian for slow but finite driving by projection method techniques exploiting a small parameter defined as the switching rate between the two states of the system.

TLDR
Jarzynski equality is found to be applicable to the transitions between nonequ equilibrium stationary states satisfying certain conditions and its relevance for nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the operational formalism is discussed.
Equilibrium free energies from nonequilibrium metadynamics.
TLDR
A new formalism is proposed to map history-dependent metadynamics in a Markovian process and the reconstructed free energy is an unbiased estimate of the underlying free energy and analytically derive an expression for the error.
Equilibrium free-energy differences from nonequilibrium measurements: A master-equation approach
It has recently been shown that the Helmholtz free energy difference between two equilibrium configurations of a system may be obtained from an ensemble of finite-time (nonequilibrium) measurements…

TLDR
A generalized version of the fluctuation theorem is derived for stochastic, microscopically reversible dynamics and this generalized theorem provides a succinct proof of the nonequilibrium work relation.
Asymmetric confinement in a noisy bistable device
A Brownian particle hopping in a symmetric double-well potential can be statistically confined to a single well by the simultaneous action of a) two periodic input signals, one tilting the minima,…

Experimental demonstration of violations of the second law of thermodynamics for small systems and short time scales.
TLDR
The fluctuation theorem is experimentally demonstrated by following the trajectory of a colloidal particle captured in an optical trap that is translated relative to surrounding water molecules to show entropy consumption can occur over colloidal length and time scales.
Fluctuations and irreversibility: an experimental demonstration of a second-law-like theorem using a colloidal particle held in an optical trap.
TLDR
It is stated that the transient fluctuation theorem (TFT) of Evans and Searles is a generalized, second-law-like theorem that bridges the microscopic and macroscopic domains and links the time-reversible and irreversible descriptions.
