AbstractNONTECHNICAL SUMMARY A central challenge for quantum materials is understanding how large numbers of electrons interact and organize themselves into collective quantum states. These interactions often lead to emergent behavior, where the system exhibits new properties that are more than those of the sum of its parts. Well-known examples include superconductivity, which enables electric current to flow without resistance, and magnetism, which enables materials to generate magnetic fields. These p
