This research establishes a solvable model for autonomous thermal machines that simultaneously erase data via heat and generate cooling using information. By incorporating quantum coherence into the system's memory, the study demonstrates a threefold expansion of the operational efficiency region compared to classical models. These findings provide critical theoretical bounds for optimizing nanoscale devices that convert between energy and information at microscopic levels.

Can a device simultaneously erase data using heat *and* generate cooling from information? A newly presented solvable model demonstrates just that, an autonomous machine accessing energetic and informational flows with measurable fluctuations. Extending existing designs, it incorporates quantum coherence within its core ‘information tape’, modifying operational efficiency and opening new avenues for nanoscale optimisation.

Autonomous information thermal machine was modelled allowing access to fluctuations in energetic and informational currents. This device performs both heat-driven information erasure and refrigeration powered by information; efficiencies were also defined to measure these processes. A computational model of an autonomous device converting between heat and information developed. The machine erases data using heat or cools down by utilising information; efficiencies were defined to measure these processes at small scales.…
