We describe the superconductor–insulator transition in thin films via the model of a disorder Bose‐condensate (dirty boson model). Coulomb interaction due to charged carriers and a random potential described by a strength and a range (Gaussian disorder) are taken into account. Analytical and numerical results are presented for the transition point of the quantum‐phase transition in terms a microscopic model for the disorder. We compare with experimental results. Some comments are made concerning a two‐fluid model. The corresponding phase‐transition diagram is discussed.
