Calculated single-particle energies in the harmonic oscillator. The two-dimensional case for quantum dots is shown on the left-
hand side where δ is the difference between the deformations in each of the two dimensions. The prototype of the shell properties
in atomic nuclei is the axially symmetric three-dimensional oscillator shown on the right-hand side. Here, δ is a measure of the
axial deformation from oblate (negative δ) to prolate (positive δ). In both plots, the numbers indicate the total number of particles
filled up to the gap. The red lines are positive parity levels and the blue lines are negative parity levels. Adapted from [Rei02] and
