Comment on: Failure of the Work-Hamiltonian Connection for Free-Energy Calculations [Phys Rev Lett 100, 020601 (2008), arXiv:0704.0761]
Jordan Horowitz, Christopher Jarzynski
TL;DR
This paper critically discusses a previous work on the failure of the Work-Hamiltonian connection in free-energy calculations, highlighting potential issues and clarifying the conditions under which the connection holds.
Contribution
It provides a detailed critique of Vilar and Rubi's claims, clarifying the limitations and applicability of the Work-Hamiltonian connection in free-energy computations.
Findings
Identifies specific conditions where the Work-Hamiltonian connection fails
Clarifies misconceptions in previous claims about free-energy calculation methods
Reinforces the validity of the Work-Hamiltonian connection under certain assumptions
