The Wilson loop operator in quantum chromodynamics is interpreted as a string creation operator. A method is developed to study its renormalization properties. From the QCD Heisenberg equations of motion, it is shown to satisfy a functional differential equation which linearizes in a short-range approximation. The hadron spectrum is given by the phonon spectrum of this equation, which is entirely determined by renormalization group arguments. Linear Regge trajectories are obtained, with a slope calculable in terms of the scaling violation in deep inelastic scattering due to asymptotic freedom. A remarkable numerical agreement is observed.
