[en] The amount of work that is needed to change the state of a system in contact
<br /><br />with a heat bath between specified initial and final nonequilibrium states is at least equal to the
<br /><br />corresponding equilibrium free energy difference plus (respectively, minus) temperature times the
<br /><br />information of the final (respectively, the initial) state relative to the corresponding equilibrium
<br /><br />distributions.
