Sounds more impressive than it actually is.
It's been known that initial correlation can decrease entropy, as the authors point out in the study.
Also worth mentioning, despite the rampant bluster about the arrow, all of the graphs start at time equal to zero and increase at a constant rate of 1 ms/ms.

Still though, heat flow from cold to hot without apparent work, however temporary. Cue Judas Priest.
