Cavity magnon-polariton interface for strong spin-spin coupling.

Strong coupling between single qubits is crucial for quantum information science and quantum computation. However, it is still challenged, especially for single solid-state qubit. Here, we propose a hybrid quantum system, consisting of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonator weakly coupled to a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spin in diamond and an yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) nanosphere holding Kerr magnons, to realize strong long-distance spin-spin coupling.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel pyrimidinedione derivatives as DPP-4 inhibitors.

A series of novel pyrimidinedione derivatives were designed and evaluated for in vitro dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitory activity and in vivo anti-hyperglycemic efficacy. Among them, the representative compounds 11, 15 and 16 showed excellent inhibitory activity of DPP-4 with IC values of 64.47 nM, 188.
