All worlds this side of the Beyond Realm face challenges of galactic proportion, but only Fractonia is in a race against time. In an effort to find the key to survival, Fractonia opens its doors to a select few outsiders. To his surprise, Matthew Roberts is invited. By most standards, Matthew is an average kid. What makes him different is his insatiable appetite for adventure. While Matthew grapples with fractions, adventure comes knocking, and Matthew finds himself translated into the Fractonian Realm - the perfect destination for exploration and discovery. From silent beasts to the talkative representative of the Royal Service Extraordinaire, there is no shortage of the bizarre and the wonderful. With so much to captivate Matthew's attention, it is easy to fall prey to the passing of the yonkinots. Will Matthew be distracted from discovering the real reason that he was invited to this world? The clock is ticking, and time is running out - for Matthew and for Fractonia. Includes illustrations by the author.

Imagination and a few colored pencils are all you will need to COLOR the REALM of FRACTONIA. This small format (easy-to-carry) coloring book is a supplement to the novel, FRACTONIA, but can be used as a stand-alone coloring book for children (or adults) of all ages. The book starts with a brief background on the characters that are waiting to be set ablaze with your choice of vibrant colors. "Color the Realm of Fractonia" includes FOUR new illustrations that are not part of the original book. In addition, you will find ready-to-color illustrations of the much loved King Spudski, the adventurous Matthew, the Exotic Merc, the ever grumpy QM, the quiet memory beasts, the jumpy Parts, and various activities that these Fractonian characters engage in. The book concludes with a short bio of the illustrator. Coupling this coloring book with the novel creates a unique and memorable gift for adventure lovers and coloring enthusiasts of all ages.

Topological Phases of Matter are an exceptionally dynamic field of research: several of the most exciting recent experimental discoveries and conceptual advances in modern physics have originated in this field. These have generated new, topological, notions of order, interactions and excitations. This text provides an accessible, unified and comprehensive introduction to the phenomena surrounding topological matter, with detailed expositions of the underlying theoretical tools and conceptual framework, alongside accounts of the central experimental breakthroughs. Among the systems covered are topological insulators, magnets, semimetals, and superconductors. The emergence of new particles with remarkable properties such as fractional charge and statistics is discussed alongside possible applications such as fault-tolerant topological quantum computing. Suitable as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students, or as a reference for more experienced researchers, the book assumes little prior background, providing self-contained introductions to topics as varied as phase transitions, superconductivity, and localisation.

COLOR the TRUMPET CAROLS is a celebration of the Christmas story. In this adult-friendly coloring book by the husband-and-wife team, Eddie and Pearl Lewis, the Christmas story is retold through a series of hand-drawn illustrations, scriptures, and extracts from Christmas carols. You are taken on a journey from the ancient prophecy of the coming of Jesus Christ to the fulfillment of that prophecy in the little town of Bethlehem. This book can be used as a stand-alone coloring book, or as a coloring accompaniment to the hauntingly beautiful "Unadorned Trumpet Carols" music album (sold separately). Carols (included in the album) are referenced throughout the book. If Christmas has become a stressful time for you and your family, this book will help you slow down, relax, and rediscover the love, joy, and peace that the Christmas carols proclaim. Reclaim the Christmas spirit in a creative way this year.

This book covers recent developments in the understanding, quantification, and exploitation of entanglement in spin chain models from both condensed matter and quantum information perspectives. Spin chain models are at the foundation of condensed matter physics and quantum information technologies and elucidate many fundamental phenomena such as information scrambling, quantum phase transitions, and many-body localization. Moreover, many quantum materials and emerging quantum devices are well described by spin chains. Comprising accessible, self-contained chapters written by leading researchers, this book is essential reading for graduate students and researchers in quantum materials and quantum information. The coverage is comprehensive, from the fundamental entanglement aspects of quantum criticality, non-equilibrium dynamics, classical and quantum simulation of spin chains through to their experimental realizations, and beyond into machine learning applications.
