Criteria for ergodicity and rates of energy flow in a quantum mechanical system of N coupled anharmonic oscillators where N is large are determined at energies near the ground state of the system. High-order resonances are important for the transition at large N. The role of numerous virtual transitions, ``vibrational superexchange,'' in global transport is examined both for typical parts of the state space and special states often interrogated experimentally.
