On the Correspondence Between the Arrows of Time

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This work proposes an original formulation that establishes a rigorous mathematical correspondence between the quantum arrow of time, emerging from decoherence and measurement processes, and the thermodynamic arrow of time, associated with the increase in entropy. The central thesis is that these two arrows are not independent phenomena, but different manifestations of a single fundamental principle of quantum information dissipation.
