American Academy of Arts and Sciences

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences (The Academy) is one of the oldest learned societies in the United States.

See Christopher Jarzynski and American Academy of Arts and Sciences

American Physical Society

The American Physical Society (APS) is a not-for-profit membership organization of professionals in physics and related disciplines, comprising nearly fifty divisions, sections, and other units.

See Christopher Jarzynski and American Physical Society

Axion

An axion is a hypothetical elementary particle originally theorized in 1978 independently by Frank Wilczek and Steven Weinberg as the Goldstone boson of Peccei–Quinn theory, which had been proposed in 1977 to solve the strong CP problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

See Christopher Jarzynski and Axion

Computational chemistry

Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry that uses computer simulations to assist in solving chemical problems.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Computational chemistry

Fulbright Program

The Fulbright Program, including the Fulbright–Hays Program, is one of several United States Cultural Exchange Programs with the goal of improving intercultural relations, cultural diplomacy, and intercultural competence between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge, and skills.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Fulbright Program

Guggenheim Fellowship

Guggenheim Fellowships are grants that have been awarded annually since by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, endowed by the late Simon and Olga Hirsh Guggenheim.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Guggenheim Fellowship

Jarzynski equality

The Jarzynski equality (JE) is an equation in statistical mechanics that relates free energy differences between two states and the irreversible work along an ensemble of trajectories joining the same states.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Jarzynski equality

Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment

The Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the International School for Advanced Studies and IOP Publishing.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment

Journal of Statistical Physics

The Journal of Statistical Physics is a biweekly publication containing both original and review papers, including book reviews.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Journal of Statistical Physics

Lars Onsager Prize

The Lars Onsager Prize is a prize in theoretical statistical physics awarded annually by the American Physical Society.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Lars Onsager Prize

Los Alamos National Laboratory

Los Alamos National Laboratory (often shortened as Los Alamos and LANL) is one of the sixteen research and development laboratories of the United States Department of Energy (DOE), located a short distance northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the American southwest.

Member of the National Academy of Sciences

Membership of the National Academy of Sciences is an award granted to scientists that the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of the United States judges to have made “distinguished and continuing achievements in original research”.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Member of the National Academy of Sciences

Nobel Prize in Physics

The Nobel Prize in Physics (Nobelpriset i fysik) is an annual award given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for those who have made the most outstanding contributions to mankind in the field of physics.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Nobel Prize in Physics

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a branch of thermodynamics that deals with physical systems that are not in thermodynamic equilibrium but can be described in terms of macroscopic quantities (non-equilibrium state variables) that represent an extrapolation of the variables used to specify the system in thermodynamic equilibrium.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Non-equilibrium thermodynamics

Optical tweezers

Optical tweezers (originally called single-beam gradient force trap) are scientific instruments that use a highly focused laser beam to hold and move microscopic and sub-microscopic objects like atoms, nanoparticles and droplets, in a manner similar to tweezers.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Optical tweezers

Princeton University

Princeton University is a private Ivy League research university in Princeton, New Jersey.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Princeton University

Robert Grayson Littlejohn

Robert Grayson Littlejohn is an American physicist, professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.

Sackler Prize

The Sackler Prize is named for the Sackler family and can indicate any of the following three awards established by Raymond Sackler and his wife Beverly Sackler currently bestowed by the Tel Aviv University.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Sackler Prize

Simons Foundation

The Simons Foundation is an American private foundation established in 1994 by Marilyn and Jim Simons with offices in New York City.

Statistical mechanics

In physics, statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic entities.

See Christopher Jarzynski and Statistical mechanics

University of California, Berkeley

The University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley, Berkeley, Cal, or California) is a public land-grant research university in Berkeley, California.
