Gaussian-work limit: ⟨W⟩ = ΔF + β σ_W²/2 (cumulant identity)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the quantum-thermodynamics subtree

Gaussian-work limit of the Jarzynski equality. When the work distribution P(W) is Gaussian with mean μ and variance σ² (near-equilibrium linear-response regime, slow-drive limit), the log-moment-generating function gives exactly…
