Jarzynski-via-Jensen second-law corollary: <W> >= dF (Jensen on convex exp(-x))

Layer 1 — Physicsin the quantum-thermodynamics subtree

Jarzynski equality combined with Jensen's inequality gives the second-law corollary. Setup: a classical or quantum system driven out of equilibrium from free energy F_0 to F_1 along an arbitrary non-equilibrium protocol; the work W done on…
