We investigate dynamical generation of macroscopic nonlocal entanglements between two remote massive magnon–superconducting-circuit hybrid systems. Two fiber-coupled microwave cavities are employed to serve as an interaction channel connecting two sets of macroscopic hybrid units, each containing a magnon (hosted by an yttrium–iron–garnet sphere) and a superconducting-circuit qubit. Surprisingly, it is found that stronger coupling does not necessarily mean faster entanglement generation. The proposed hybrid system allows the existence of an optimal fiber coupling strength that requires the shortest amount of time to generate a systematic maximal entanglement. Our theoretical results are shown to be within the scope of specific parameters that can be achieved with current technology. The noise effects on the implementation of systems are also treated in a general environment, suggesting the robustness of entanglement generation. Our discrete-variable qubit-like entanglement theory of magnons may lead to direct applications in various quantum information tasks.

The blurring of the classical-quantum boundary points to new directions in optics.

Fast-track surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery have been applied to many surgical procedures; however, data on fast-track surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery following liver transplantation is limited. This study aimed to conduct a prospective study to determine the effects of fast-track surgery on prognosis after liver transplantation.

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is unavoidable in liver transplantation and hepatectomy. The present study aimed to explore the possible mechanism and the effect of oleanolic acid (OA) in hepatic IRI.

The growing recognition that entanglement is not exclusively a quantum property, and does not even originate with Schrödinger’s famous remark about it [Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc.31, 555 (1935)PCPSA40008-198110.1017/S0305004100013554], prompts the examination of its role in marking the quantum-classical boundary. We have done this by subjecting correlations of classical optical fields to new Bell-analysis experiments and report here values of the Bell parameter greater than B=2.54. This is many standard deviations outside the limit B=2 established by the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt Bell inequality [Phys. Rev. Lett.23, 880 (1969)10.1103/PhysRevLett.23.880PRLTAO0031-9007], in agreement with our theoretical classical prediction, and not far from the Tsirelson limit B=2.828…. These results cast a new light on the standard quantum-classical boundary description, and suggest a reinterpretation of it.

Small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) may occur when graft volume is less than 45 of the standard liver volume, and it manifests as retarded growth and failure of the grafts and more mortality. However, its pathogenesis is poorly understood, and few effective interventions have been attempted.

Although orthotopic liver transplantation provides a therapeutic option for patients with Wilson’s disease (WD) presenting fulminant liver failure or drug resistance, it is still unclear whether the living-related liver transplantation (LRLT) can result in long-term therapeutic effect on WD.

We identify classical light fields as physical examples of nonquantum entanglement. A natural measure of degree of polarization emerges from this identification, and we discuss its systematic application to any optical field, whether beamlike or not.
