InSb, a narrow-band III-V semiconductor, is known for its small bandgap, small electron effective mass, high electron mobility, large effective $g$-factor, and strong spin-orbit interactions. These unique properties make InSb interesting for both industrial applications and quantum information processing. In this paper, we provide a review of recent progress in quantum transport research on InSb quantum well devices. With advancements in the growth of high-quality heterostructures and micro/nano fabrication, quantum transport experiments have been conducted on low-dimensional systems based on InSb quantum wells. Furthermore, ambipolar operations have been achieved in undoped InSb quantum wells, allowing for a systematic study of the band structure and quantum properties of p-type narrow-band semiconductors. Additionally, we introduce the latest research on InAsSb quantum wells as a continuation of exploring physics in semiconductors with even narrower bandgaps.
