Abstract: Conformal qc geometry of spherical qc manifolds are investigated. We construct the qc Yamabe operators on qc manifolds, which are covariant under the conformal qc transformations. A qc manifold is scalar positive, negative or vanishing if and only if its qc Yamabe invariant is positive, negative or zero, respectively. On a scalar positive spherical qc manifold, we can construct the Green function of the qc Yamabe operator, which can be applied to construct a conformally invariant tensor. It becomes a spherical qc metric if the qc positive mass conjecture is true. Conformal qc geometry of spherical qc manifolds can be applied to study convex cocompact subgroups of $mSp(n+1,1).$ On a spherical qc manifold constructed from such a discrete subgroup, we construct a spherical qc metric of Nayatani type. As a corollary, we prove that such a spherical qc manifold is scalar positive, negative or vanishing if and only if the Poincar'e critical exponent of the discrete subgroup is less than, greater than or equal to $2n+2$, respectively.
