Computational problems, Yes, the Solution of computational problems, that can never be solved in a feasible time period by the existing supercomputers is the basic need of a Quantum computer. Quantum Computers use quantum-mechanical phenomena like Superposition and Entanglement to perform computation. Superposition refers to the presence of a quantum particle like an atom or a photon in two states simultaneously, exactly it is not simultaneous but it spins so quickly that it appears to be in both positions at the same time. Entanglement is a physical phenomenon in which a group of quantum particles, interact, share spatial proximity in such a way that their quantum states remain dependent on one other even if they get separated by larger distance. Such particles show wave-like properties, and when frequency and waveform of these particles become identical, they are said to be in Coherence. Coherence is a mandatory condition to perform computing. In a Quantum System, Superposi...
This is not the first time we are confronting with coronavirus. It all started in 2002 when SARS COV 2 outbroke, people started to get infected exponentially(2,4,8,16...).
To get rid of this epidemic, Researchers started the process of discovering the vaccine. In order to discover the vaccine, they conducted tests and researches.
The outcomes and facts derived from these researches are consolidated in the form of Research papers.
After years of research and study work, more than 28000 papers were written.
How Research papers are useful in order to make the COVID-19 vaccine?
Researchers need to read and study these papers thoroughly to find a pattern in the genetic code of the virus obviously with the possibility of human error.
Yes, you have guessed correctly it's a longlasting and hectic task for the researchers and scientists.
Once the pattern is identified, the process of making the vaccine and testing on humans takes place in different phases.
How Artificial Intelligence makes the task of reading and understanding thousands of research papers easy?
Natural Language Processing makes this hectic and time-taking task of reading and understanding the literature.
NLP is a subfield of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence which is used to make computers understand human languages(Hindi, English,...).

It includes the conversion of speech to text and text to speech.
Systems installed with Machine Learning algorithms use NLP to analyze 68000 research papers and 67000 abstracts.
These 68000 papers and 67000 abstracts are collectively called CORD-19 Dataset which is a collection of both COVID-19 and SARS COV-2 research papers.
Kaggle, a subsidiary of Google, organizes Machine Learning Algorithms competitions.
Almost 1000 accounts of Kaggle have submitted algorithms in order to study the
mutations in the virus.
These algorithms(using Deep Learning) can be used to parse(making data structured to analyze) these research papers and extract useful information.
