Key points
- High-temperature superconductors exhibit complex phase diagrams driven by multiple ordering tendencies.
- The theory of intertwined orders posits that these tendencies interact, not act independently.
- This interplay leads to novel, experimentally observable consequences.
- Understanding these intertwined orders is key to unlocking the physics of these materials.

Abstract
Understanding high temperature superconductors is a central problem in condensed matter physics. Many experiments have uncovered ordering tendencies which are responsible for the complex phase diagram of high temperature superconductors. This Colloquium discusses the interplay between different order parameters in these materials. Considering the intertwining of these orders leads to new experimentally observable consequences, shedding new light into the physics of these fascinating materials.
