Abstract
The superconductor - insulator transition in a Josephson junction chain with quantum fluctuation is studied by a density matrix renormalization group. The critical Josephson coupling is found to be , while the Villain approximation gives . When extending the phase space from to , corresponding to a very small quasi-particle tunnelling effect, the superconductor - insulator transition still exists but at a larger critical coupling .
