You confused the direction. You can reduce love to chemicals to to atoms to quarks, you cannot construct love out of quarks without already knowing what love is.
No, I haven't. If I zoom up to the scale of meters I will see that certain loosely-bound groups of atoms behave in a patterned way with each other wot's ultimate consequence is the manufacture of more loosely-bound groups of atoms. I may not call it love, but that doesn't really matter.
