One of the central observations of quantum chaology is that statistical properties of quantum spectra exhibit suprisingly universal features, which seem to mirror the chaotic or regular dynamical properties of the underlying classical limit. I will report on recent studies of simple regular systems, where the investigation leads to subtle lattice point counting problems.
