Consider a particle in a 1D potential $V(x)$. Can I apply the JE to this system?
Some ideas:
\begin{itemize}
\item What is temperature? Is there a way of turning mechanical energy into a free energy? How do I invoke a heat bath?
\item Can I make a partition function (if I have an explicit $V$)?
\item Treat as absorbing boundary with drift, like Payam2.3.
\item If we can make free energy change zero, then $\langle e^{-\beta W}\rangle = 1$. With dissipative process.
\item The JE shouldn't depend on microscopic dynamics of the system, as long as they are microscopically reversible. Can I propose my own dynamics? E.g. the particle goes up or down the potential with some probability.
\item Interpretation of the {\it control parameter} $\lambda(t)$ in this context: it is the ``force'' that a particle in a absolute zero vacuum would experience in the potential. Real experiment \ra randomness.
\end{itemize}
