There's no loss of information (or increase of entropy) globally of course. This is all FAPP stuff (in the article, I'm not sure I would be able to understand the paper). “Entanglement builds up between the state of the coffee cup and the state of the room.” begs the question - "builds up" in one time direction only? Why? (Assuming symmetric LoP, as QM does). One needs to know why the initial conditions were what they were originally - i.e. far from equilibrium - to explain how the LoP drive things towards equilibrium.
