Correction to: _Nature Physics_ https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-019-0702-6, published online 11 November 2019. In the version of this Perspective originally published, in Box 1, the sentence
“The single particle in the high-energy site can move to the lower-energy site with rate _p_, but in doing so the system will lose energy Δ_E_.” has been amended to read “The single particle
in the site with high energy _E_1 can move to the site with lower energy _E_2 with rate _p_, but in doing so the system will lose energy Δ_E_ = _E_1 − _E_2.” Accordingly, also in Box 1, the
following equation changes have been made. (1) In the equations for ‘ \(\frac{\alpha }{\gamma }\) ’ and ‘\(\frac{\beta }{\delta }\) ’, the superscripts ‘_μ_left/_k_B_T_’ and
‘−_μ_right_k_B_T_’, respectively, should have been ‘(_μ_left−_E_1)/_k_B_T_’ and ‘−(_μ_right−_E_2)/_k_B_T_’; the correct equations are ‘\(\frac{\alpha }{\gamma } = e^{\left( {\mu
_{{\mathrm{left}}} - E_1} \right){\mathrm{/}}k_{\mathrm{B}}T}\)’ and ‘\(\frac{\beta }{\delta } = e^{ - \left( {\mu _{{\mathrm{right}}} - E_2} \right){\mathrm{/}}k_{\mathrm{B}}T}\)’. (2) In
the equation in the sentence beginning “For example:”, the term ‘\(+ \frac{{\Delta E}}{{k_{\mathrm{B}}T}}\)’ should not have been included; the correct equation is: The online versions of
the Perspective have been amended. AUTHOR INFORMATION AUTHORS AND AFFILIATIONS * Department of Biophysics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA Jordan M. Horowitz * Center for the
