-
One of the most remarkable is that if one electron is added the fluid will be affected (excited) and a number of fractionally charged "quasiparticles" created.
-
These electrons are not restricted to spending their life round a single atom, but are able to collaborate with other electrons to form delicate and transient objects known as 'quasiparticles'.

Finally, if non-classical molecular data transfers are possible, a further proof would be needed that they cannot also be used to construct qubits, or alternatively that any qubits constructed from quasiparticles will be unable to transfer data back into the classical components of the system.

The “almost all” qualifier is due to this: While matter is a very poor candidate for room temperature quantum, the same statement cannot safely be made for quasiparticles.

Also, a full proof of the irrelevance of quasiparticle-mediated quantum effects in room temperature organic systems would also require a proof that quasiparticles cannot be used to construct qubits, or at least that any qubits constructed in such a fashion cannot then be linked back to the classical components of the system.

A full proof must also show that there are no configurations of quasiparticles that could transfer of information from a quantum state back into the classical matter component of the system.

In the case of Mossbauer, such data transfers are enabled by the ability of very lightweight quasiparticles to form Bose-Einstein condensates at room temperature.
