Abstract We review the BCS to Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover scenario which is based on the well known crossover generalization of the BCS ground state wavefunction Ψ 0 . While this ground state has been summarized extensively in the literature, this Review is devoted to less widely discussed issues: understanding the effects of finite temperature, primarily below T c , in a manner consistent with Ψ 0 . Our emphasis is on the intersection of two important problems: high T c… Expand
