[1] Time’s Arrow of a Quantum Superposition of Thermodynamic Evolutions. By G. Rubino , G. Manzano, and C. Brukner Fundamental laws of physics are generally time-symmetric. The directionality of time is then often explained with the thermodynamic arrow of time: the entropy of an isolated system increases during a process, and it is constant only …
