We report on recent progress in the description of shape transitions in atomic nuclei. The main experimental signatures are mentioned along with basic theoretical models describing the critical character of the nuclear shape evolution. We then discuss some new theoretical results obtained within the framework of the interacting boson model and related approaches. It is argued that these models can be used to probe some fundamental aspects of quantum phase transitions.

We introduce the notion of intertwined quantum phase transitions (IQPTs), for which a crossing of two configurations coexists with a pronounced shape-evolution of each configuration. A detailed analysis in the framework of the interacting boson model with configuration mixing, provides evidence for this scenario inthe Zr isotopes. The latter exhibit a normal configuration which remains spherical along the chain, but exchanges roles with an intruder configuration, which undergoes first a spherical to prolate-deformed [U(5)→SU(3)] QPT and then a crossover to γ-unstable [SU(3)→SO(6)].
