  New discoveries and developments in almost every area of correlated electron
physics were presented at SCES 2016. Here, I provide a personal perspective on
some of these developments, highlighting some new ideas in computational
physics, discussing the "hidden order" challenges of cuprate and heavy electron
superconductors, the mysterious bulk excitations of the topological Kondo
insulator SmB$_{6}$ and new progress in research on quantum spin ice, iron
based superconductors and quantum criticality.
