Transition-path-time symmetry of particles in force landscapes. a Free energy U(x) calculated from inferred forces (see Methods). The standard error of the mean (not shown) is smaller than the line thickness. b Cumulative probability of transition-path times across the region defined by the black box in a (compare with Fig. 1b). Kolmogorov–Smirnov test boundaries are plotted in light grey. c Transition probabilities across a 1 μm region, which is continuously moved along x. The standard error of the mean (not plotted) is on the order of the marker size. d Transition-path times over the same spatial interval. Error envelopes show the standard error of the mean. While the lines in b–d show the full data set, the markers only highlight selected data points
