This thesis is devoted to the study of different quantum spin glass models. In the case of the Quantum Random Energy Model, we prove Goldschmidt's formula for the free energy and give a precise description of the low energy states, establishing a localization-delocalization transition. We continue with a complete characterization of the phase diagrams and a discussion of the resulting quantum de Almeida-Thouless transition in hierarchical quantum spin glass models. Finally, we show the persistence of the glass phase in the Quantum Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model.
