Using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) and Raman scattering, we address the rich physics in correlated quantum materials with strong spin-orbit coupling. Our three central topics are: Controlling quasimolecular magnetic moments and exchange interactions in cluster Mott insulators; unraveling hidden multipolar order via magnetic excitations; and exploring novel, exotic excitations such as bond-directional excitations in Kitaev materials, chiral and non-reciprocal excitations in Dirac matter, and fractionalization vs. many-body bound states in anisotropic quasi-onedimensional magnets.
