Catalysis of heat-to-work conversion in quantum machines.
We propose a hitherto-unexplored concept in quantum thermodynamics: catalysis of heat-to-work conversion by quantum nonlinear pumping of the piston mode which extracts work from the machine. This concept is analogous to chemical reaction catalysis: Small energy investment by the catalyst (pump) may yield a large increase in heat-to-work conversion. Since it is powered by thermal baths, the cata...
متن کاملOptimal Welfare-to-Work Programs
A Welfare-to-Work (WTW) program is a scheme of government expenditures on “passive” (unemployment compensation, social assistance) and “active” (job search monitoring, training, wage subsidies) labor market policies targeted to the unemployed. This paper studies the optimal WTW program as a recursive contract between a cost-minimizing government and a worker whose human capital depreciates duri...
متن کاملAspects of quantum work.
Various approaches of defining and determining work performed on a quantum system are compared. Any operational definition of work, however, must allow for two facts: first, that work characterizes a process rather than an instantaneous state of a system and, second, that quantum systems are sensitive to the interactions with a measurement apparatus. We compare different measurement scenarios o...
متن کاملMediating Role of Work Ethics in Relation to Ethical Leadership and Organizational Justice with Work Engagement
Background: An important issue for organizations is to identify factors related to job motivation and use these factors to increase the level of enthusiasm of their employees. The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of ethical leadership and organizational justice on job motivation by emphasizing the mediating role of work ethic. Methods: The present study was descriptive-correlatio...
متن کاملHeat-to-work conversion by exploiting full or partial correlations of quantum particles
It is shown how information contained in the pairwise correlations (in general, partial) between atoms of a gas can be used to completely convert heat taken from a thermostat into mechanical work in a process of relaxation of the system to its thermal equilibrium state. Both classical correlations and quantum correlations (entanglement) are considered. The amount of heat converted into work is ...
