Description
Studying the structure of the atomic nucleus from its constituent interacting particles is a difficult task. One of the most successful methods to tackle the nuclear many-body problem from a microscopic perspective is based on the definition of non-relativistic and/or relativistic energy density functionals (EDFs). In this contribution I will summarize some quantum phase transitions that could be identified with mean-field and beyond-mean-field EDFs, in particular, those related to shape and/or pairing degrees of freedom.
