Understanding proton-water wires and their superconductivity through the model of correlated electron pairing in oscillatory resonant quantum states

Chemical bonds, including covalent, ionic, hydrogen, and van der Waals interactions, are often thought to dominate biological organization and activity. However, these bonds are forces that only work over short distances. Biological systems maintain coherence across all scales. Long-range coherence, large-distance cooperation, and whole-body control are vital features of biological systems and are also fundamental to quantum systems. Energy within cells has a quantum nature. Protons (H ⁺ ) do not travel alone; they are connected to a water molecule (hydronium, H3O ⁺ ) or two water molecules as a (Zundel cation, H5O2 ⁺ ) or as a larger (Eigen complex, H9O4 ⁺ ). Traditionally, water has been seen as a dielectric solvent that influences the energy of molecules, either speeding up or slowing down specific reactions. Water is known as the universal solvent for life. In complex biological processes, hydrogen-bonded water bridges (water wires) are believed to be critical for proton conduction. Understanding how water H-bond networks impact reaction dynamics still needs to be clarified at the molecular level. In this work, we use quantum physics approximations to explain how the model of correlated electron pairing in oscillatory resonant quantum states links H ⁺ fluctuations to electronic rearrangements that lead to the formation of water wires and superconductivity.
