@ Nature Communications: Reversion of heat flow using quantum correlations
Irreversibility is a longstanding puzzle in physics. While microscopic laws of motion are invariant under time reversal, all macroscopic phenomena have a preferred direction in time. Heat, for instance, spontaneously flows from hot to cold. Eddington has called this asymmetry the arrow of time. At the phenomenological level, the second law of thermodynamics allows one to predict which processes are possible in nature: only those with non-negative mean entropy production do oc
