Abstract
We examine two-level systems which undergo an instantaneous change in the energy level differences due to the application of an external protocol. In particular the behavior of the work distribution as well as the probability of second-law violations as the thermodynamic limit, and separately the quasistatic limit, is approached are investigated.
