We discuss the arrow of time in terms of the increase of correlations between the system and its environment. Here we show that the existence of the arrow of time, based on deleting correlations, requires a strict absence of initial correlations between the system and the environment. We discuss our work in relation to other approaches addressing the same problem and emphasise similarities and differences.

Contextuality in anomalous heat flow
Anomalous heat flow occurs in quantum prepare-transform-measure protocols only when noncontextuality inequalities are violated, for evolution times in (0, τ_c), with analysis of an existing experiment and extension to...
