Unveiling the order of the high temperature superconductors

Invited Talk

A central mystery posed by the Cu-based high temperature superconductors has been the nature of their electronic state at low hole density. I will survey the remarkable progress made by recent experiments towards solving this mystery, with the first discovery of a density wave with a d-form factor. Aspects of this discovery were anticipated by theory, and I will discuss the current status of our understanding of the physics of high temperature superconductivity.
