Abstract

I will present a generalization, to IRREVERSIBLE processes, of the well-known relation between reversible work and free energy differences. I will then discuss a generalization of this result, as well as potential applications in the context of numerical methods for computing free energy differences.

Tea and coffee will be served in R3151 Beckman Institute at 2:15pm.
