    "abstract": "The physical concept of quantum entanglement is brought to the biological\ndomain. We simulate the cooperation of two insects by hypothesizing that they\nshare a large number of quantum entangled spin-1/2 particles. Each of them\nmakes measurements on these particles to decide whether to execute certain\nactions. In the first example, two ants must push a pebble, which may be too\nheavy for one ant. In the second example, two distant butterflies must find\neach other. In both examples the individuals make odour-guided random choices\nof possible directions, followed by a quantum decision whether to push/fly or\nto wait. With quantum entanglement the two ants can push the pebble up to twice\nas far as independent ants, and the two butterflies may need as little as half\nof the flight path of independent butterflies to find each other.",
