  The definition of a quantum state corresponding to a wave packet far from a
global soliton is considered. We define an asymptotic quantum state
corresponding to a localized wave packet of elementary quanta far from a kink.
We demand that the state satisfies two properties. First, it must evolve in
time via a rigid translation of the wave packet, up to the usual wave packet
spreading and corrections which are exponentially suppressed in the distance to
the kink. Second, the state must be invariant under a simultaneous translation
of the kink and the wave packet. We explicitly construct the leading quantum
corrections to an asymptotic state consisting of a meson approaching a kink. We
expect this construction to readily generalize to elementary quanta in the
presence of any global soliton.
