I will discuss aspects of the physics of two dimensional quantum
magnetism with an eye toward understanding the underdoped cuprates. The
main focus will be the phenomenon of deconfined quantum criticality that
has been studied recently. I show how this notion helps
refine and may also help evaluate existing theoretical ideas on the
cuprates.
