Abstract
We demonstrate the utility of the periodic-orbit description of chaotic motion by computing from a few periodic orbits highly accurate estimates of a large number of quantum resonances for the classically chaotic 3-disk scattering problem. The symmetry decompositions of the eigenspectra are the same for the classical and the quantum problem, and good agreement between the periodic-orbit estimates and the exact quantum poles is observed.
