The properties of such a condensed phase are examined and found to be compatible with the phenomenological properties of liquid water. In particular, the observed value of critical density is calculated with good accuracy. %K liquid phase %K quantum electrodynamics %K coherence %K liquid water %K critical density %U http://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/4/3/510
