  We review recent theoretical developments, which suggest that a set of shared
principles underpin macroscopic quantum phenomena observed in high temperature
super conducting materials, room temperature coherence in photosynthetic
processes and the emergence of long range order in biological structures. These
systems are driven by dissipative systems, which lead to fractal assembly and a
fractal network of charges (with associated quantum potentials) at the
molecular scale. At critical levels of charge density and fractal dimension,
individual quantum potentials merge to form a charged induced macroscopic
quantum potential, which act as a structuring force dictating long range order.
Whilst the system is only partially coherent (i.e. only the bosonic fields are
coherent), within these processes many of the phenomena associated with
standard quantum theory are recovered, with macroscopic quantum potentials and
associated forces having their equivalence in standard quantum mechanics. We
establish a testable hypothesis that the development of structures analogous to
those found in biological systems, which exhibit macroscopic quantum
properties, should lead to increased critical temperatures in high temperature
superconducting materials. If the theory is confirmed it opens up a new,
systematic, ab initio approach to the structural development of these types of
materials.
