Abstract: We use the semiclassical quantization scheme of Bogomolny to calculate eigenvalues of the Limac con quantum billiard corresponding to a conformal map of the circle billiard. We use the entire billiard boundary as the chosen surface of section (SOS) and use a finite approximation for the transfer operator in coordinate space. Computation of the eigenvalues of this matrix combined with a quantization condition, determines a set of semiclassical eigenvalues which are compared with those obtained by solving the Schr"odinger equation. The classical dynamics of this billiard system undergoes a smooth transition from integrable (circle) to completely chaotic motion, thus providing a test of Bogomolny's semiclassical method in coordinate space in terms of the morphology of the wavefunction. We analyze the results for billiards which exhibit both soft and hard chaos.
