- Abstract: Quantum Landauer's principle provides a fundamental lower bound for energy
dissipation occurred with information erasure in the quantum regime. While most
studies have related the entropy reduction incorporated with the erasure to the
lower bound~(entropic bound), recent efforts have also provided another lower
bound associated with the thermal fluctuation of the dissipated
energy~(thermodynamic bound). The coexistence of the two bounds has stimulated
comparative studies of their properties; however, these studies were performed
for systems where the time-evolution of diagonal (population) and off-diagonal
(coherence) elements of the density matrix are decoupled. In this paper, we
aimed to broaden the comparative study to include the influence of quantum
coherence induced by the tilted system--reservoir interaction direction. By
examining their dependence on the initial state of the information-bearing
system, we find that the following properties of the bounds are generically
held regardless of whether the influence of the coherence is present or not:
the entropic bound serves as the tighter bound for a sufficiently mixed initial
state, while the thermodynamic bound is tighter when the purity of the initial
state is sufficiently high. The exception is the case where the system dynamics
involve only phase relaxation; in this case, the two bounds coincide when the
initial coherence is zero; otherwise, the thermodynamic bound serves the
tighter bound. We also find the quantum information erasure inevitably
accompanies constant energy dissipation caused by the creation of
system--reservoir correlation, which may cause an additional source of
energetic cost for the erasure.

We show that Frenkel's integral representation of the quantum relative entropy provides a natural framework to derive continuity bounds for quantum information measures.
We obtain a number of results: (1) a tight continuity relation for the conditional entropy in the case where the two states have equal marginals on the conditioning system, resolving a conjecture by Wilde in this special case; (2) a stronger version of the Fannes-Audenaert inequality on quantum entropy; and (3) better estimates on the quantum capacity of approximately degradable channels.

Quantum coherence of the initial product states in the uncoupled eigenbasis can be viewed as a resource for equilibration and approach to thermalization.
Results are given for four distinct perturbation strength regimes, the ultra-weak, weak, intermediate, and strong regimes.
Maximally coherent initial states thermalize for any perturbation strength in spite of the fact that in the ultra-weak perturbative regime the underlying eigenstates of the system have a tensor product structure and are not at all thermal-like.
