Modern x-ray experiments offer a powerful tool to address fundamental questions about materials. In this colloquium, I will illustrate some intriguing cases involving materials in which electronic correlations yield intertwined, ordered patterns of the spin, charge and orbital character of the wave functions. I will discuss x-ray scattering methods which are key to investigate the interplay of such &ldquo;quantum periodicities&rdquo;,&nbsp;which turn out to be very important in governing the macroscopic physics.&nbsp;I will overview the recent discovery of charge ordering as a potentially crucial ingredient in high temperature superconductivity. Furthermore, exploiting the high cross-section and element specificity of resonant scattering, magnetism solely at interfaces between oxide layers can now be detected. In addition, applied magnetic fields can expose momentum-resolved coexistence of various magnetic phases in frustrated Kitaev systems. Finally, I will discuss far-reaching changes that are occurring in synchrotron facilities which will shape our research field throughout the next decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3751","physics_colloquium","type-physics_colloquium","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/physics_colloquium\/3751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/physics_colloquium"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/physics_colloquium"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
