We followed step by step the transition from an antiferromagnetic (AFM) Mott insulator to a superconducting (SC) metal in the Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_{8 + δ} (Bi-2212) cuprate using electronic Raman scattering spectroscopy. This was achieved by tracking the doping dependence of the spin singlet excitation (SSE) originating from the AFM Mott insulator, the normal-state quasiparticle excitation related to the mobile charge carriers, and the Bogoliubov quasiparticles related to the SC gap. We show that the signature of the pseudogap phase which develops during this transition can be interpreted as the blocking of charge carriers by the enhancement of the AFM correlations as the temperature drops. We find that the energy scale of the pseudogap, Δ_pg(p), closely follows that of the SSE, Δ_sse(p) with doping p. The quasiparticle lifetime considerably increases with doping when the pseudogap collapses. We reveal that the maximum amplitude of the SC gap Δ$$^{ma}_{sc}$$ and the SC transition temperature T_c are linked in an extended range of doping, such as Δ$$^{ma}_{sc}$$(p)∝Δ_sse(p)T_c(p). This relation suggests that the AFM correlations play a key role in the mechanism of superconductivity.
