An autonomous thermal machine for amplification of coherence — •Juan MR Parrondo1, Gonzalo Manzano2, and Ralph Silva31Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) — 2IFISC (Spain) — 3Université de Genève (Switzerland)

A common belief is that any contact of a quantum system with thermal baths implies the vanishing of any coherence in the energy eigenbasis. Here we present a model that questions this idea: an autonomous quantum thermal machine that is capable of amplifying the coherence in a non-degenerate system by using only thermal resources. The model illustrates new possibilities of interconversion between energy, both work and heat, and coherence, and opens up new possibilities in the generation and manipulation of coherence by autonomous thermal machines.
