Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic constituted the most devastating health event worldwide to be witnessed in the past 100 years. It disrupted major economies, placed half of humanity under months-long lockdowns and threatened the foundations of global trade. The worldwide death toll exceeded 6 million; indeed, the pandemic remains ongoing due to the virus's extreme mutability. The aim of this Special Issue is to address COVID-19-related issues, particularly those concerning information theory, complexity theory, artificial intelligence, and quantum simulations. The topics covered in this Issue, while not exhaustive, include:
- The genomic analysis of the virus, hypotheses about its origins, and predictions of its future mutations, primarily from an information–theory perspective.
- Inference of protein features, e.g., using artificial intelligence or quantum simulations, and analysis of the long-term medical effects of the disease.
- Models of spatiotemporal disease propagation and predictions of future epidemic trends.
- The application of complexity and information theories to design tracking devices and applications in order to limit virus exposure on both individual and collective levels.
- Perspectives on future pandemics.
