So how does the 'optimization' work? :)

I have no clue about physics, so I'm just curious.

It doesn't. It's really a deliberately vague term referring to any physical action designed to put the system in one state rather than another. A thermodynamically non-reversible action, you could say.

Alright. Well, we're talking about something that might be theoretically possible, but is impossible in practice. I don't think it matters.
