Quantum Mpemba Speedups in the Thermodynamics of Landauer Erasure

We investigate how nonequilibrium quantum initial states can reduce the finite-time thermodynamic cost of Landauer erasure. Considering a general finite-dimensional quantum memory coupled to a thermal reservoir via a Davies generator, we show that the dissipated heat at a fixed operational erasure fidelity is largely c...
