By extending the original Anderson singular gauge transformation for static vortices to two mutual flux-attaching singular gauge transformations for moving vortices, we derive an effective action describing the zero temperature quantum phase transition from d-wave superconductor to underdoped regime. Neglecting the charge fluctuation first, we find that the mutual statistical interaction is exactly marginal. In the underdoped regime, the quasi-particles are described by 2+1 dimensional QED; in the superconducting regime, they are essentially free. However, putting back the charge fluctuation changes the physical picture dramatically: both the dynamic Doppler shift term and the mutual statistical interaction become {\em irrelevant} short-ranged interactions on both sides of the quantum critical point. There are no spin-charge separation and {\em no} dynamic gapless gauge field in the Cooper-pair picture. The formalism developed at $ T=0 $ is applied to study thermally generated vortices in the vortex plasma regime near the finite temperature KT transition.
