Quantum Mechanical Modeling of Perpetual Immunity to SARS-CoV-2
(COVID-19) Infection
Abstract
Survivors of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) infections have a unique immune
response that allows them to either delay reinfection or outsmarts the
virus’s whims. The emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants and immunization
have furthered this immune response by producing high-affinity
anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. There is limited data on the extent to which
this immune response confers protective immunity against recurrent
infections, as well as the duration of this protection. Here we present
the first-ever quantum mechanical model to provide an answer to this
question. The model is well applicable because of the 20 nm -500 nm size
range of coronavirus. We call this model the ‘Quantum Perturbation
Model’. The model relates the strength of the COVID-19 attack to a wave
function containing information about the system (person infected by the
SARS-CoV-2) and quantized energy states, which shows the chances of
reoccurrence of the disease. By applying the energy corrections provided
by the Quantum Perturbation Theory to the SARS-CoV-2 attack under
reinfections and various pre-existing conditions we have provided
possible interpretations. When pre-existing problems exist at the time
of SARS-COV-2 infection, the model illustrates how the influence of
COVID-19 accumulates up. The model also formulates the deficit in the
intensity of the COVID-19 effect in recurrence or in the presence of
other variables strengthening the body’s antibody affinity and immunity
to resist the virus variants.
