Abstract
The classical nonlinear Schrodinger equation may be solved using the inverse scattering transform, but there are difficulties in carrying this over to the case of quantum fields. These difficulties are overcome by explicitly constructing a Fock space representation of the states, together with quantum fields properly defined over this space.Keywords
