One of the most important outcomes of thermodynamics since its first statements was formulated in 1997 by Christopher Jarzynski and expresses the second law of thermodynamics in equality form, rather than in the scholarly known (inequality) form. It also put precise quantitative conditions for violating the second law of thermodynamics, which can be realized only when dealing with microscopic nonequilibrium processes.
