Quantum coherence enables hybrid multitask and multisource regimes in autonomous thermal machines

Nonequilibrium effects may have a profound impact on the performance of thermal devices performing thermodynamic tasks such as refrigeration or heat pumping. The possibility of enhancing the performance of thermodynamic operations by means of quantum coherence is of particular interest but requires...
