In this article, we discuss several aspects of the quantum phase transition, with special emphasis on the metalinsulator transition. We start with a review of key experimental and theoretical works and then discuss how doping a system reduces the critical temperature of the overall phase transition. Although many aspects of the quantum phase transition still remain an open problem, onsiderable progress has been made in revealing the underlying physics, both theoretically and experimentally.
