A definition of strict localization of states in quantum field theory is presented. This definition is based on considering products of field operators as the primary measurable quantities of the theory. An example of a localized state is given, showing that such a state arises when a free field interacts with an external current that is limited to a bounded region of space‐time. It is shown by means of a graphical technique that a state having a finite number of particles cannot satisfy the definition of localization. A simple representation of localized states is investigated, and arguments are given to support its generality and uniqueness.
