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