We construct a new quantization Kt(Oshℤ) of the Grothendieck ring of the category Oshℤ of representations of shifted quantum affine algebras (of simply-laced type). We establish that our quantization is compatible with the quantum Grothendieck ring Kt(O^\mathfrakb,+ℤ) for the quantum Borel affine algebra, namely that there is a natural embedding Kt(O^\mathfrakb,+ℤ)\hookrightarrow Kt(Oshℤ). Our construction is partially based on the cluster algebra structure on the classical Grothendieck ring discovered by Geiss-Hernandez-Leclerc. As first applications, we formulate a quantum analogue of QQ-systems (that we make completely explicit in type A1). We also prove that the quantum oscillator algebra is isomorphic to a localization of a subalgebra of our quantum Grothendieck ring and that it is also isomorphic to the Berenstein-Zelevinsky's quantum double Bruhat cell ℂt[SL2w0,w0].
