1. Introduction
Quantum calculus, sometimes called q-calculus, is a branch of mathematics that generalizes traditional calculus by introducing a parameter q to replace limits in differentiation and integration. In quantum calculus, instead of approaching infinitesimal changes, the calculus operates over discrete steps, where the parameter q controls the granularity of these steps. This approach is particularly useful in areas that naturally involve discrete structures, such as quantum theory, number theory, and combinatorics. The concepts of derivative and integral within the framework of q-calculus were formally introduced by Jackson—see [1,2]—establishing the foundational principles of q-calculus. For a more comprehensive understanding, please consult [3]. q-Calculus has extensive applications across various fields of mathematics and physics, including the calculus of variations, quantum groups, the theory of relativity, combinatorics, and quantum mechanics. This wide-ranging applicability underscores the importance of q-calculus as a formidable mathematical instrument. Recently, the use of q-calculus in Geometric Function Theory (GFT) has attracted considerable attention from scholars. A significant application is presented in [4], where Srivastava employed q-hypergeometric functions within the context of GFT. Furthermore, the modified q-derivative has been utilized to define q-starlike functions, as outlined in [5,6]. The exploration of the q-generalization of close-to-convex functions is discussed in [7], while [8,9] introduce generalized forms of q-starlike and q-close-to-convex functions, leading to the development of modified subclasses of analytic functions within the q-calculus framework. The categorization of q-convex functions with a complex order, which generalizes several traditional classes in GFT, is presented in [10]. Additionally, the q-extensions of starlike functions, particularly those associated with Janowski functions, are established in [11]. In the realm of GFT, linear operators have been constructed and utilized to characterize new subclasses of analytic functions, resulting in significant progress, especially with the recent introduction of q-special functions defined in terms of the q-Pochhammer symbol, q-shifted factorial, q-Gamma function, q-hypergeometric function, and deformed q-Lerch–Hurwitz function. The advancement of q-convoluted linear operators and their applications has become a central theme in contemporary research, as indicated in [12]. These investigations seek to formulate q-analogues of various subclasses of analytic functions, thereby providing fresh perspectives and methodologies for mathematical analysis.
This study is dedicated to defining the q-counterparts of subclasses of analytic functions via the generalized q-Carlson–Shaffer operator. Furthermore, it examines and establishes multiple characteristic properties of these functions, thereby enhancing the overall comprehension and application of q-calculus within geometric function theory. In summary, the investigation and advancement of q-calculus in the context of geometric function theory signify a dynamic and progressive area of research. The incorporation of q-special functions and the development of new linear operators continue to propel research forward, providing innovative solutions and broadening the theoretical underpinnings of both q-calculus and geometric function theory.
This section’s goal is to provide some fundamental ideas about geometric function theory so that readers can better comprehend the article’s key conclusions. For this, let A be the set of analytic functions normalized under the conditions the analytic
in the open unit disc . Furthermore, the set of normalized univalent functions is represented by the subset S of A. Köebe [13] first proposed this class in 1907, and it is now the mainstay of groundbreaking studies in this area. This idea sparked a lot of curiosity; however, Bieberbach [14] quickly published an article in which the well-known coefficient hypothesis was presented. According to this conjecture, for every , , if and has the series form (1). This remained a difficulty for function theorists for 69 years, despite the efforts of several mathematicians. This long-running rumor was resolved in 1985 by de-Branges [15]. Many papers were written about this conjecture and the associated coefficient difficulties throughout the course of the last 69 years. New subfamilies of S were defined and the problems with their coefficients were examined.

4. Conclusions
In this investigation, we explored a novel class of q-uniformly starlike functions defined by the q-Carlson–Shaffer operator. We derived several significant analytical results, including necessary conditions, coefficient bounds, the Fekete–Szegö inequality, and the criteria established through the Hadamard product. These findings offer both necessary and sufficient conditions for these properties, contributing to a deeper understanding of this class of functions. Future work could focus on extending the results to other q-operators and exploring their applications in geometric function theory Future directions, such as q-convex functions, q-Bazilevic functions, bi-univalent functions, and multivalent functions, as well as exploring their implications for harmonic analysis.
