Are Micro and Macro Arrows of Time Connected Each Other?

Abstract

The connection between the micro and macro-arrow of time is discussed in the frame of the stochastic quantum hydrodynamic analogy (SQHA). The presence of fluctuations that in the case on non-linear interactions leads to the breaking of the quantum mechanics on large scale and then to the macroscopic irreversibility with a defined arrow of time, gives also rise to the time reversal breaking in the micro-scale quantum evolution (micro-arrow of time). The quantum irreversibility with time reversal asymmetry is briefly discussed.
