The rocky road from non-equilibrium work to free energy
Mostafa Nategh

Although a few of very promising methods now exist for extracting free energy profiles of a many-body system from non-equilibrium work performed on it the implementation of these methods have proven to be non-trivial. These methods (most notable of all the Jarzynski equality the FR method and the Brownian dynamic FDT) typically require a proper sampling of the work performed on the system along many trajectories in the available phase space that connect the desired initial and final macrostates.
