As he flipped to Chapter 4, "The Green’s Function Method," the library around him began to blur. It wasn't a dizzy spell. The wooden table began to lose its "woodness," dissolving into a shimmering lattice of carbon atoms. His coffee cup became a probability cloud of ceramic shards.

"It’s not chaos," Arthur whispered, watching a Cooper pair glide past him in a perfect, superconducting slipstream. "It’s choreography." A Course in Quantum Many-Body Theory: From Conv...

Arthur, a third-year PhD student whose eyes were permanently bloodshot from staring at Feynman diagrams, pulled it down. He didn’t notice the dust that puffed out, nor did he notice that the book felt inexplicably heavy, as if it contained a small, dense star. As he flipped to Chapter 4, "The Green’s
