2 Apologize The only Large deviation in this talk, is the use by the speaker of slides instead of blackboard Thanks to Arvind-Abhishek-Juan-Frank-Christopher-Manjunath-Tony -Sanjib-Hugo for the invitation. Raphael Chetrite On the Gibbs-Shannon Entropy 2/25

3 Today : A work with Momcilo Gavrilov and John Bechhoefer M. Gavrilov, R.C, J. Bechhoeffer : Direct measurement of weakly nonequilibrium system entropy is consistent with Gibbs-Shannon To appear in PNAS 2017 Raphael Chetrite On the Gibbs-Shannon Entropy 3/25

4 The second law : at the roots of the all? A. Einstein : The second law of thermodynamics is the only physical theory...which I am convinced that...it will never be overthrown. Pope XII : (Pontifical Academy of Sciences, 1952) : The Second thermodynamic Law... provides a demonstrative testimony to the existence of a higher being.?versus? Parody in the onion 09/06/2000 : Conservative Christians protest the second law of thermodynamics on the steps of the Kansas Capitol. Raphael Chetrite On the Gibbs-Shannon Entropy 4/25

5 Main Question of this talk MQ : Physical contents of the Gibbs-Shannon entropy? Not tautological question Joel Lebowitz : Private note 2017 I have been worrying about this since I was a graduate student and still do not have a good answer. J. Bricmont : Science of Chaos or Chaos in science 1996? But why should we use this Gibbs entropy out of equilibrium? In equilibrium, it agrees with Boltzmann and everything is fine.

10 Common agreement : Gibbs-Shannon entropy is the thermodynamical entropy at equilibrium J. Bricmont Science of Chaos or Chaos in science? In equilibrium, it agrees with Boltzmann and everything is fine. Equilibrium =) Gibbs distribution : ( g H (x) =exp [ (H(x) F eq H )] exp [ F eq H ]=R dx exp [ H(x)] where F eq H is called equilibrium free energy (1). Gibbs-Shannon associated entropy then S GS [g H ] = hg H ln g H i = hg H H F eq H i S GS [g H ]= hg H Hi F eq H which is the thermodynamical definition of the entropy. But beyond the equilibrium?

36 Partial Conclusion before the exp of double well erasure 1 In our erasure experiment : We measure at long intermediate time the reversible work Wrev exp for all value of a parameter p (which is the population of the left well), and this is totally independent of the H1 hypothesis. In this situation, the previous discrete 2nd law become an equality and permits to theoretically access to Wrev H1. We compare then the two result for all values of p and we find that there is a perfect agreement. 2 This prove our message that the Gibbs-Shannon entropy is physically consistent, still outside equilibrium (initial/final state not Gibbs). Question : Is this message was not already imply by the previous experiment on Landauer erasure? as : A.Bérut,A.Arakelyan, A.Petrosyan,S.Ciliberto,R.Dillenschneider,E. Lutz : Nature 2012 Y.Jun, M.

Response :Thepreviousexperimentswasconcernjustwithoneuniquevalueofthe parameter, p = 1,andthentheagreementwithH1 was for a punctual value while 2 it s a functional agreement in our experiment.

In this situation, the previous discrete 2nd law become an equality and permits to theoretically access to Wrev H1. We compare then the two result for all values of p and we find that there is a perfect agreement. 2 This prove our message that the Gibbs-Shannon entropy is physically consistent, still outside equilibrium (initial/final state not Gibbs). Question : Is this message was not already imply by the previous experiment on Landauer erasure? as : A.Bérut,A.Arakelyan, A.Petrosyan,S.Ciliberto,R.Dillenschneider,E. Lutz : Nature 2012 Y.Jun, M. Gavrilov, J. Bechhoefer : Phys. Rev. Lett.2014 J. Hong, B. Lambson, S. Dhuey, J. Bokor : Sci. Adv 2016 What we win w.r.t theses previous works? Response :Thepreviousexperimentswasconcernjustwithoneuniquevalueofthe parameter, p = 1,andthentheagreementwithH1 was for a punctual value while 2 it s a functional agreement in our experiment. The key experimentam point here is the control of p. Raphael Chetrite On the Gibbs-Shannon Entropy 19 / 25
