In this work, by making a variety of quantitative comparisons between electronic visualization experiments and a theory describing coexisting pair density wave and superconductive states in cuprates, we find striking correspondence throughout. Therefore, our model can explain the microscopic origins of many key atomic-scale phenomena of the cuprate broken-symmetry state. These observations are consistent with the possibility that a short-range pair density wave (PDW) state coexists with superconductivity below a critical hole density in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, that the charge density wave modulations in cuprates are a consequence of the PDW state, that the cuprate pseudogap is the antinodal gap of the PDW, and that the critical point in the cuprate phase diagram occurs due to disappearance of the PDW.
