What if the problem wasn't what the system was doing-but where the work was finishing?

When a cutting-edge quantum computer begins solving calculations too efficiently, the anomaly is easy to miss. The answers are correct. Performance improves. Nothing fails.

But something no longer adds up.

Dr. Lena Arelis is part of the team overseeing a new paradigm in computation-machines powerful enough to distribute their calculations across parallel universes. In theory, those universes are mathematical...
