What is quantum in quantum thermodynamics?

A new study shows that overunity is a quantum effect that is based on
coherence and entanglement.

Quote:

"One important implication of the new results is that quantum effects may
significantly increase the performance of engines at the quantum level.
While the current work deals with single-particle engines, the researchers
expect that quantum effects may also emerge in multi-particle engines,
where quantum entanglement between particles may play a role similar to
that of coherence."
