Abstract

A quantized nonlinear relativistic theory of a finite continuous medium is proposed for the description of the quantum properties of extended elementary systems. It is postulated that to every classical ‘elementary’ motion there corresponds a quantum motion of the extended system. A systematic method of construction of the quantum Hamiltonian is developed and the mass spectrum of an extended quantum system is evaluated.
