On manifolds with an even Riemannian conformally compact Einstein metric,
the resolvent of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian, acting on trace-free, divergence-free,
symmetric 2-tensors is shown to have a meromorphic continuation to the complex
plane, defining quantum resonances of this Laplacian. For higher-rank symmetric
tensors, a similar result is proven for (convex cocompact) quotients of hyperbolic space.
