In subfactor theory, it has been observed that operator algebras often admit symmetries beyond mere groups, sometimes called quantum symmetries. Besides recent substantial progress on the classification programs of simple amenable C*-algebras and group actions on them, there has been increasing interest in their quantum symmetries. This talk is devoted to an attempt to ensure the existence of various quantum symmetries on simple amenable C*-algebras, at least in the purely infinite case, by providing a systematic way to produce them. As a technical ingredient, a simplicity criterion for certain Pimsner algebras is given.
