  We analyze the evolution of superfluidity for nonzero orbital angular
momentum channels from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) to the Bose-Einstein
condensation (BEC) limit in three dimensions. First, we analyze the low energy
scattering properties of finite range interactions for all possible angular
momentum channels. Second, we discuss ground state ($T = 0$) superfluid
properties including the order parameter, chemical potential, quasiparticle
excitation spectrum, momentum distribution, atomic compressibility, ground
state energy and low energy collective excitations. We show that a quantum
phase transition occurs for nonzero angular momentum pairing, unlike the s-wave
case where the BCS to BEC evolution is just a crossover. Third, we present a
gaussian fluctuation theory near the critical temperature ($T = T_{\rm c}$),
and we analyze the number of bound, scattering and unbound fermions as well as
the chemical potential. Finally, we derive the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau
functional near $T_{\rm c}$, and compare the Ginzburg-Landau coherence length
with the zero temperature average Cooper pair size.
