  Among the numerous works on quantum effects that have been published in
recent years, streaming instabilities in plasma have also been revisited. Both
the fluid quantum and the kinetic Wigner-Maxwell models have been used to
explore quantum effects on the Weibel, Filamentation and Two-Stream
instabilities. While quantum effects usually tend to reduce the instabilities,
they can also spur new unstable branches. A number of theoretical results will
be reviewed together with the implications to one physical setting, namely the
electron driven fast ignition scenario.
