contents Although both experimental observations and numerical simulations have reached a consensus that the stripe phase is intertwined with superconductivity in cuprates, the microscopic mechanism behind $d$-wave pairing in the presence of stripes remains unclear. Using the effective theory of quantum colored strings, we derive the wavefunction in Fock space. Our results show that two spinons with opposite chiralities tend to pair into a spinon singlet, which in turn facilitates the formation of negative pair-pair correlations between distant $x$-bonds and $y$-bonds, a hallmark of the $d$-wave pairing pattern. The same pair-pair correlation pattern is observed across various models, as confirmed by large-scale density matrix renormalization group calculations. Based on these results, we conclude that the spinon singlet is the origin of $d$-wave superconductivity in a fluctuating, partially-filled stripe, and this mechanism may also extend to multi-stripe configurations.
