Bustamante, Science 296, p.1832, 2002 Prerequisites: small number of molecules both, Eq and Neq regimes Expectations: WJE1 WJE2 WJE1 ΔF Conditions: 40 folding-unfolding cycles 7 datasets with different molecules Reversible work: slow rate B.II 27 folding and unfolding curves coincide

28 Part B.III Discussions and critique B.III 28

29 Relevance Aiming for a new understanding of Nature Does the macroscopic description contain all the necessary information? Mechanism of Life Arrow of Time A family of the relations must be treated together It is the consistency of different approaches, which matters a lot A complex verification is needed Is it a coincidence for special processes or a general result? Do experiments correspond to the required conditions? B.III 29 The physical meaning of the used quantities

30 Debates E. G. D. Cohen and D. Mauzerall, J. of Stat Mech: T&E, P07006, 2004 Received: 23 June 2004 Accepted: 29 June 2004 Published: 13 July 2004 C. Jarzynski, Received: Accepted: Published: J. of Stat Mech: T&E, P09005, August August September 2004 «The communities accepting the Jarzynski equality consists overwhelmingly of chemists and biophysicists, while the physicists have divided opinions... E. G. D. Cohen and D. Mauzerall, J. of Stat Mech: T&E, P07006, 2004 B.III 30»

31 Cohen arguments E. G. D. Cohen and D. Mauzerall, J. of Stat Mech: T&E, P07006, 2004 C. Jarzynski, J. of Stat Mech: T&E, P09005, 2004 The Jarzynski equality (JE) is not an equality in any mathematical sense, but can be a useful approximate equality in certain important fields, e.g. study of single molecules in solution Correct accounting for the heat exchange The system is subjected not only to the mechanical work, but also to the simultaneous energy exhange with the surroundings Temperature of the initial equilibrium state Usage of the temperature of the surroundings for every irreversible path e =e W kt FH kt makes no physical sense A rigorous derivation is possible only for «linear regime», which is already known B.III 31 Essentially reversible isothermal experiments were performed True irreversible processes, have so far not been considered experimentally

32 Vilar arguments J. M. G. Vilar and J. M. Rubi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, , 2008 L. Peliti, J. Horowitz and C. Jarzynski, J. M. G. Vilar and J. M. Rubi, J. of Stat Mech: T&E, P05002, 2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, , 2008 (Comment) Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, , 2008 (Reply) JE is not general: there are systems, where it does not hold Harmonic oscilator W e W Jarzynski: e =1 The Jarzynski definition of the work is not general: Parameter א is not necessarily the (generalized) coordinate F =e W = dt H t Hamiltonian is defined up to an arbitrary time-dependent function JE holds, but not between the work and free energy Z t exp [ f x dx ] exp [ dh x, t ] = exp [ F Z t ] Z 0 B.III The experiments confirm JE beacuse of specialy chosen conditions Yet, the agreement is good, maily close to relatively slow perturbations 32

33 My arguments Why does an irreversible process average depends on an equilibrium state ( work vs free energy )? «The microscopic history of the system and environment will differ from one realization to the next, simply because the initial microstate differs from one realization to the next process average 1 A = N B.III N Ai i=1...» canonical average 1 A = N N Ai Ai i=1 diversity is not only due to initial configuration does ρ = 1 for an irreversible process? 33

34 Kulinskii arguments recent communications The definition of the work is misleading microscopic energy: H micro {x1, v 1 ; x 2, v 2 ; x N, v N } microscopic work: W micro= dh = H NB! equality for any process: molecules do not know about heat! macroscopic configuration: H macro {T, } W macro= force dx macroscopic work: Because of averaging over microscopic degrees of freedom we loose information: Q W micro W macro Jarzynski: e W macro =e F JE does not hold for a simple process W =0 F ~ln 34 no work on the system V2 V1 and = dt H W t Irreversible adiabatic expansion of ideal gas into vacuum increase of entropy and free energy e W e F
