  Quantum oxide materials possess a vast range of properties stemming from the
interplay between the lattice, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom, in
which electron correlations often play an important role. Historically, the
spin-orbit coupling was rarely a dominant energy scale in oxides. It however
recently came to the forefront, unleashing various exotic phenomena connected
with real and reciprocal-space topology that may be harnessed in spintronics.
In this article, we review the recent advances in the new field of oxide
spin-orbitronics with a special focus on spin-charge interconversion from the
direct and inverse spin Hall and Edelstein effects, and on the generation and
observation of topological spin textures such as skyrmions. We highlight the
control of spin-orbit-driven effects by ferroelectricity and give perspectives
for the field.
