We propose the algorithm for determining vibrational quantum eigenstates of periodic linear chain of atoms coupled by harmonic and third order anharmonic interactions (Fermi-Ulam-Pasta $\alpha$ problem) in the long wavelength limit within the resonant approach. Eigenstates can be encoded by the sequence of integer numbers determining their energies and wavefunctions. Using these eigenstates we described a single phonon state time evolution showing coherent oscillations. The applications of theory to vibrational energy transport and quantum informatics are discussed.
