Basic ideas and results which characterize quantum diffusion of defects in quantum crystals like solid helium as a new phenomenon
are presented. Quantum effects in such media lead to a delocalization of point defects (vacancies, impurities etc.) and they
turn into quasiparticles of a new type—defectons, which are characterized not by their position in the crystal lattice but
by their quasimomentum and dispersion law. Defecton-defecton and defecton-phonon scattering are considered and an interpolation
formula for the diffusion coefficient valid in all interesting temperature and concentration regions is presented. A comparison
with the experimental data is made. Some alternative points of view are discussed in detail and the inconsistency of the Kisvarsanyi-Sullivan
theory is shown.
