A possible mechanism for evading temperature quantum decoherence in living matter by feshbach resonance

Int J Mol Sci. 2009 May 13;10(5):2084-106. doi: 10.3390/ijms10052084.

Abstract

A new possible scenario for the origin of the molecular collective behaviour associated with the emergence of living matter is presented. We propose that the transition from a non-living to a living cell could be mapped to a quantum transition to a coherent entanglement of condensates, like in a multigap BCS superconductor. Here the decoherence-evading qualities at high temperature are based on the Feshbach resonance that has been recently proposed as the driving mechanism for high T(c) superconductors. Finally we discuss how the proximity to a particular critical point is relevant to the emergence of coherence in the living cell.

Keywords: Bose condensation; Feshbach resonance; biological networks; multiband superconductivity; multigap superconductivity; network of networks; origin of life; quantum coherence; quantum statistics of networks.
