There is a sci-fi series that I am absolutely blanking on that features that concept - I remember a few characters each having access to a somewhat godlike ability to manipulate physics, and using it to restructure the universe to create computers to augment their own capabilities - definitely some planetary stuff and some quantum / atomic level stuff.. hmmmm maybe gpt can help

This sounds vaguely like the series that Peter F. Hamilton has written, possibly the Commonwealth Saga?

would it happen to be "Zones of Thought" by Vernor Vinge?

Ooh no it is not, but I am coincidentally working my way through the third book in that series!
