Quantum algebras (also called quantum groups) are deformed versions of the usual Lie algebras, to which they reduce when the deformation parameter q is set equal to unity. From the mathematical point of view they are Hopf algebras. Their…
Applications of rotational $SU(3)$ symmetry in nuclei, using Elliott's $SU(3)$ or pseudo-$SU(3)$ or proxy-$SU(3)$ model, often need just the lowest or leading $SU(3)$ irreducible representation (irrep) $(\lambda_H, \mu_H)$. For nucleons in…
In analogy with the Nilsson model, we calculate the splitting of spherical single-particle levels in a deformed field, but for cluster potentials. We study applications to alpha-cluster nuclei with two, three and four alpha particles, in…

Nelson's stochastic mechanics may be understood as a stochastic underpinning, or reconstruction, of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, once the diffusion scale is fixed by $\hbar$ and the admissible states are restricted by the usual…
Semiclassical periodic-orbit theory (POT) is applied to the physics of nuclear structures, with the use of a realistic nuclear mean-field model given by the radial power-law potential. Evolution of deformed shell structures, which are…
Quantum algebras U_q(su_n) used as the algebras of flavour symmetry (usually described by SU(n)) to study static properties of hadrons lead to intriguing results. In this contribution we focus on the peculiar properties manifested by…

This paper deals with quon algebras or deformed oscillator algebras, for which the deformation parameter is a root of unity. We show the interest of such algebras for fractional supersymmetric quantum mechanics, angular momentum theory and…
The microscopic justification of the emergence of SU(3) symmetry in heavy nuclei remains an interesting problem. In the past, the pseudo-SU(3) approach has been used, with considerable success. Recent results seem to suggest that the key…
Using a new approximate analytic parameter-free proxy-SU(3) scheme, we make simple predictions for the global feature of prolate dominance in deformed nuclei and the locus of the prolate-oblate shape transition and compare these with…
A collective vector-boson model with broken SU(3) symmetry is applied to several deformed even-even nuclei. The model description of ground and $\gamma$ bands together with the corresponding B(E2) transition probabilities is investigated…

The proxy-SU(3) approximation to the shell model, which restores the SU(3) symmetry of the 3-dimensional harmonic oscillator beyond the sd shell, predicts the collective deformation variables beta and gamma of even-even atomic nuclei in a…
Under ideal conditions, quantum metrology promises a precision gain over classical techniques scaling quadratically with the number of probe particles. At the same time, no-go results have shown that generic, uncorrelated noise limits the…
