I will present a theory of superconductivity in cuprates based on the physics of strong quantum fluctuations in a correlated d-wave superconductor. The spin sector of the
theory takes the form of a two-dimensional quantum electrodynamics whose quantum critical ground state defines the pseudogap phase. The charge sector maps to a dual
type-II Abrikosov-Hofstadter superconductor and calls for a checkerboard modulation in the density of Cooper-pairs. Various experiments, including ARPES, neutron scattering, heat transport, STM, etc., are discussed in light of this theory.
