A bacteria is a small brain. And bacteria have interesting conversation, indeed, we are all the result of those chemical conversations, as we are colony of bacteria—I see already the eukaryotic cell has a small colony of bacteria and virus (the nucleus) so we are actually colonies of colonies of bacteria! Now, I doubt they have been able to isolate the bacteria from the environment, and it is not sure they show just the antennae being in superposition not the whole bacteria interpreting the message. Since some proteins seem to succeed in exploiting quantum coherence to optimise the number of photons hitting chlorophyll in photosynthesis, I am open to the idea that at the molecular level the superposition and entanglement can be exploited in diverse scenarios. The kinematics of enzymes is a complex subject. For real schroendinger bacteria, we need to find “solid” barrier of decoherence, and although condensed physical matter seems promising, I expect this to take times, and it will progress serendipitously.
