Abstract: A rigorous description of the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of an infinite system of interacting u-dimensional quantum anharmonic oscillators is given. The oscillators are indexed by the elements of a countable set mathbbLsubsetmathbbRd, possibly irregular; the anharmonic potentials vary from site to site. The description is based on the representation of the Gibbs states in terms of path measures -- the so called Euclidean Gibbs measures. It is proven that: (a) the set of such measures mathcalGmt is non-void and compact; (b) every muinmathcalGmt obeys an exponential integrability estimate, the same for the whole set mathcalGmt; (c) every muinmathcalGmt has a Lebowitz-Presutti type support; (d) mathcalGmt is a singleton at high temperatures. In the case of attractive interaction and u=1 we prove that |mathcalGmt|>1 at low temperatures. The uniqueness of Gibbs measures due to quantum effects and at a nonzero external field are also proven in this case. Thereby, a qualitative theory of phase transitions and quantum effects, which interprets most important experimental data known for the corresponding physical objects, is developed. The mathematical result of the paper is a complete description of the set mathcalGmt, which refines and extends the results known for models of this type.
