Using Matveev-Piergallini moves and branched bubble-moves, the author introduces a calculus for branched spines of 3-manifolds. Such a branched spine is dual to a ``branched triangulation'' used in the definition of quantum invariants obtained as state-sums. Using these objects it is possible to construct so-called classical and quantum dilogarithmic invariants for 3-manifolds equipped with principal flat PSL\((2,\mathbb C)\)-bundles.
