Summary: We describe the qualitative features of the joint spectrum of the quantum \(1:1:2\) resonant swing spring. The monodromy of the classical analogue of this problem is studied in H. Dullin et al. [Physica D 190, No. 1–2, 15–37 (2004; Zbl 1098.70520)]. Using symmetry arguments and numerical calculations we compute its three-dimensional (3D) lattice of quantum states and show that it possesses a codimension 2 defect characterized by a nontrivial 3D-monodromy matrix. The form of the monodromy matrix is obtained from the lattice of quantum states and depends on the choice of an elementary cell of the lattice. We compute the quantum monodromy matrix, that is the inverse transpose of the classical monodromy matrix. Finally we show that the lattice of quantum states for the \(1:1:2\) quantum swing spring can be obtained – preserving the symmetries – from the regular 3D-cubic lattice by means of three ”elementary monodromy cuts.”
