      abstract     = {Collective oscillations in dense neutrino gases (flavor
                      waves) are notable for their instabilities that cause fast
                      flavor conversion. We develop a quantum theory of
                      interacting neutrinos and flavor wave quanta, which are
                      analogous to plasmons, but also carry flavor. The emission
                      or absorption of such flavor plasmons $\psi$, or flavomons,
                      changes the neutrino flavor. When an angular crossing
                      occurs, the process $\nu_\mu\to\nu_e+\psi$ is more rapid
                      than its inverse along the direction of the crossing,
                      triggering stimulated $\psi$ emission and fast instability.
                      Calculating the rate via Feynman diagrams matches the fast
                      instability growth rate. Our novel $\nu$ and $\psi$ kinetic
                      equations, corresponding to quasi-linear theory, describe
                      instability evolution without resolving the small scales of
                      the flavomon wavelength, potentially overcoming the main
                      challenge of fast flavor evolution.},
