Finite-time Landauer principle beyond weak coupling

Landauer's principle gives a fundamental limit to the thermodynamic cost of erasing information. Its saturation requires a reversible isothermal process, and hence infinite time. We develop a finite-time version of Landauer's principle for a bit encoded in the occupation of a single fermio...
