The Rise and Fall of D O D O
Well if you're looking for something with a similar preface (time travelling scientists and magic) there's this book.
The Rise And Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland touches on this sort of stuff quite a bit.

The rise and fall of D.O.D.O. deals with it a lot. (I loved this book so much I read the whole thing in a weekend.)
I feel like timeline (michael chriton book) did as well but it's been a really long time since I read it.
I read finished Volume 5 of Churchill's WW2 memoirs, and then took a break and read the first three trades of The Wicked + The Divine and The Rise And Fall of D.O.D.O.
Churchill remains an extremely rewarding read, even though it's taken me ages, I'm really glad I've done it. It really gives a strong perspective on the period, supported by so many documents.
Wicked and Divine is fantastic from the stuff I've read so far. Definitely gonna continue reading it when I get a chance.
Rise and Fall of DODO was kind of disappointing, but it was a halfway decent novel. Just not as good as I was hoping. Having Stephenson co-write is probably a good idea, because there are actual coherent characters other than the Competent Nerd Dude. In point of fact, the Competent Nerd Dude is a super-minor character, and the book is actually written partially first person from a lady's perspective!
Definitely looking forward to August or so, when I finish up the Churchill memoirs and read a whole stack of novels for a break.
The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson is exactly this.
I read a fun novel that talked about a sort of string theory multiverse that can be accessed by witches if they are put in a box of superposition, sort of like schrodinger's box, and that there used to be witches, but the thing that destroyed them was the invention of the camera, forever observing things as they are, preventing the power of magic, since what magic really is in the book is witches manipulating things on a quantum level.

It wasn't the best book I had ever read, but those ideas and many others in it were really creative, and I like that the scientific jargon seems to add up, at least to a layman like me.
