Doping the Mott Insulator/ antiferromagnet
• If charge localization is intrinsic in a doped Mott insulator with AFLRO?
• If charge delocalization (superconductivity) arises by destroying the AFLRO?
• Is localization-delocalization the underlying driving force or the T=0 phase diagram of the underdoped cuprates?

singular quantum phase interference
• Mott physics = phase string sign structure replacing the Fermion signs
• Strong correlations = charge and spin are long-range entangled
• Sign structure + restricted Hilbert space = unique fractionalization

• Cuprates are doped Mott insulators with strong Coulomb interaction
• New organizing principles of Mott physics: An altered fermion sign structure due to large-U
• Consequences:
(1) Intrinsic charge localization in a lightly doped antiferromagnet (2) Charge delocalization (superconductivity) arises by destroying the AFLRO (3) Localization-delocalization is the underlying driving force for the T=0 phase diagram of the underdoped cuprates
• Non-BCS-like ground state wavefunction
