A genuinely three-dimensional system, viz. the hyperbolic 4-sphere scattering system, is investigated with classical, semiclassical, and quantum mechanical methods at various center-to-center separations of the spheres. The efficiency and scaling properties of the computations are discussed by comparisons to the two-dimensional 3-disk system. While in systems with few degrees of freedom modern quantum calculations are, in general, numerically more efficient than semiclassical methods, this situation can be reversed with increasing dimension of the problem. For the 4-sphere system with large separations between the spheres, we demonstrate the superiority of semiclassical versus quantum calculations, i.e., semiclassical resonances can easily be obtained even in energy regions which are unattainable with the currently available quantum techniques. The 4-sphere system with touching spheres is a challenging problem for both quantum and semiclassical techniques. Here, semiclassical resonances are obtained via harmonic inversion of a cross-correlated periodic orbit signal.
