The character of the motion in solid helium of two point defects located at a distance considerably smaller than the range of the interaction but greater than the interatomic spacing is investigated. The defects are found to be bound by the interaction potential. Depending on the magnitude of the mutual spacing and the arrangement of the defects with respect to the crystallographic axes, four cases are possible: 1) The defects perform three-dimensional diffusional motion, 2) they are practically stationary, 3) they perform twodimensional diffusional motion in the basal plane of the crystal, 4) the pair of defects behaves as one twodimensional quasiparticle, moving as a free particle but only in the basal plane. It is shown that kinks in dislocations in the quantum crystal are transformed into free one-dimensional quasiparticles. Their quantum-mechanical delocalization leads to the delocalization of dislocations with kinks in the slip plane. An estimate of the diffusion coefficients of the kinks at low temperatures is given.
