With the appropriate choice of parameters and sufficient cooling, chargedparticles in a circular accelerator are believed to undergo a transition to ahighly-ordered crystalline state. The simplest possible crystallineconfiguration is a one-dimensional chain of particles. In this paper, we writedown the quantized version of its dynamics. We show that in a low-densitylimit, the dynamics is that of a theory of interacting phonons. There is aninfinite sequence of $n$-phonon interaction terms, of which we write down thefirst orders, which involve phonon scattering and decay processes. The quantumformulation developed here can serve as a first step towards aquantum-mechanical treatment of the system at finite temperatures.
