My lecture in the previous week made the point that in strongly correlated quantum materials, surprises abound and, by extension, so are the opportunities for new physics. This point will be further illustrated here using the case of the iron-based high temperature superconductors. I will summarize some of the key questions on their physics and the progresses that have been made in addressing them during the past decade. These questions concern both the normal state, including the degree of electron correlations as well as the electronic orders and their fluctuations, and the superconductivity. I will close by touching upon some of the outstanding questions and the prospects for future advances.
