Some aspects of recent work of the present authors on H + and OH − transport mechanism in aqueous solutions are reconsidered in more detail and furthermore extended. The short lifetime and small spatial size of the coherent‐dissipative structures appearing in the formulation is pointed out. It is stressed that these structures are due to quantum correlations between different quantum states of one quantum system. The time evolution of (i) the electronic distribution and (ii) the nuclear degrees of freedom is considered in some detail, in connection with the H + transfer and mobility in water.
