There are already electrostatic interactions in organic chemistry that could trigger conformational changes or polarization changes that operate on femtosecond or picosecond timescales. The photons would soon be absorbed anyway, so it isn't like it is a mechanism for distributed computation like carefully controlled entanglement of a quantum computer.
