Several different models for the transition between hadronic matter and a quark-gluon plasma phase are reviewed. Each of the models involves different assumptions, and none can be said to be complete. However, they all generally predict the same range of temperatures (200-300 MeV at zero baryon number density) and baryon number densities (5-20 times nuclear matter density at zero temperature) for the phase transition to occur. A discussion of a likely means of accessing the transition in the laboratory, namely the central collision of relativistic heavy nuclei, is given. Both the accelerator energies required to attain the transition, and some of its experimental signatures, are presented. This transition may also have cosmological significance, both in the early universe and in the cores of dense stars. Only the former is discussed here: a review of the role of some nuclear and particle physics phenomena in the hot Big Bang model is given, and the effects of the relaxation of the confinement restriction on the condensation of quarks into hadrons is investigated.
