Impossibility of achieving Landauer's bound for almost every quantum state

PM Riechers, M Gu - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
The thermodynamic cost of resetting an arbitrary initial state to a particular desired state is
lower bounded by Landauer's bound. However, here we demonstrate that this lower bound …
