Coronavirus: Quantum computer can discover the COVID-19 vaccine


  • The Covid-19 outbreak was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The World Health Organization(WHO) announced the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the corona virus pandemic. This pandemic of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19),caused by severe acute respiratory corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
  •  During the previous pandemic situation like flue, No Prevention and No Treatment for the pandemic virus was found and which lead to a huge loss of human life.   


DEVELOPMENT OF VACCINE


  • Several groups in the world are working on a vaccine for the new corona virus, but there’s no guaranteed solution for vaccine.
  • Some groups say that they may have an experimental vaccine ready for initial testing. But experts caution this expedited timeline doesn’t always allow for careful evaluation of the safety.
  • Some companies in the world are developing treatment methods that could not the worsen situation more.
  • Meanwhile during the research and development of vaccines the corona virus cases around the world are rapidly increasing day by day.
  • Some companies and researcher says that Quantum computers can help us in developing the vaccine safer and faster, this also could cost millions for the companies to go with the deal.


QUANTUM COMPUTING IN HEALTHCARE

  • Today, companies can go on several comparisons on classical computers; however, they are limited only to molecules of a certain size. As quantum computers become more readily available, which makes it possible to compare much larger molecules, which opens the door for more pharmaceutical advancements and cure a range of diseases.
  • Application of Quantum Computers and Quantum computing are getting more essential in the current critical situation
  • Quantum computing allows us to model complex molecular interaction at an atomic level. This will be very important for medical research and drug discovery.

FUTURE OF MEDICAL TREATMENTS

  • Scientists and pharma companies have begun to experiment with alternative ways, such as using artificial intelligence, human organs-on-chips, to make the process of drug discovery and development more cost-effective.
  • Supercomputers that root out therapies from a database of molecular structures. It can screen more than 100 million compounds each day.
  • Quantum computers could unfold looking through all possible molecules with unimaginable speed, drug tests conducted in every potential cell model. This helps to find drugs for various diseases.
  •  Reaching new age, that means no humans, no animals, not even a single cell is required for testing.
  • It means an individualized computer simulation used in the development or regulatory evaluation of medicinal products,devices. Quantum computing could greatly advance the building of “Virtual humans” and complete simulation like humans such as body fluids, circulation, electrolyte, hormones, metabolism, and skin temperature.
  • This could improve the quality and completeness of the drugs and save millions of human life in the future.

Whether this method of treatment and tests is possible?
