Model based on a quantum algorithm for the study of HIV
Alejandro León Julio Pozo
Universidad Diego Portales Santiago Chile
In this work we develop a model based on quantum algorithms to study the evolution of
an epidemic. We apply the model to study the development of the HIV, to do predictions
of infection in the population who does not have knowledge of the condition of infection.
The model uses the analogy that exists between the quantum systems and the individuals
in a population who suffers an epidemic. We represent the individuals for quantum
systems of two levels (quantum bit) and the interactions between these individuals (who
cause the infection) are represented by unitary transformations, and we divide the
population who is studied in categories (in agreement to his behavior) and simulate the
interaction between the individuals of the same category and between individuals of
different categories. Our intention is to show results of the number of infected depending
on the time for every category and for the total population, besides we analyze the impact
in the evolution of the epidemic due to the interaction without the knowledge of the
condition of infection on the part of the individuals.
