The quantum properties of intrinsic localized modes in perfect anharmonic lattices are considered. A method is developed which allows one to calculate the quantum levels of these modes. Calculations are presented for the lifetime of intrinsic localized gap modes in NaI and KI due to their two-phonon quantum decay. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. [References: 7]
