This is an interesting step, but doesn't actually explain why time is asymmetrical. Ok, so things equilibrate as time moves forwards because they entangle as time moves forwards. But this just shifts the question – why is entanglement asymmetrical when time, when the underlying laws are not? You still have the same problem: if you reverse time, the states become untangled and the coffee heats up. It's nice to be able to model this from a quantum perspective, but make no mistake – no philosophical issues have been resolved here, and we don't "finally" understand anything we didn't before.
