Abstract: Abstract The present article is an overview of selected topics rather than a thorough review of the classic and recent achievements in the field of quantum critical phenomena (QCP) — critical phenomena produced by quantum statistical effects in condensed matter and gases. The experimental and theoretical research of QCP is a branch of quantum statistical physics and phase transitions physics of a rapidly growing importance for the explanation of essential features of low dimensional fermion and spin systems, dilute Bose fluids, superconductors, quantum Hall systems, ferroelectrics, etc; as references to recent topics, see, e.g., Sonhdi et al. (1996), Schakel (1997a, 1999), and Caramico D’Auria et al. (1997).
