The concept of density in quantum theories of an elementary particle is discussed. Density is, at least implicitly, recognized in contemporary textbooks on quantum field theories, where the Noether theorem is utilized for a derivation of a conserved 4-current j_,μ^μ=0 and a conserved energy-momentum tensor T_,ν^μν=0. Here the component j⁰ is the particle’s density and the components T^μ0 are the energy-momentum density. The novelty of this work is the analysis of the particle’s density and the energy-momentum density of these expressions and their application to several specific quantum theories. As of today, these tasks have not been adequately accomplished in contemporary textbooks. The results show that the first-order Dirac theory of an elementary massive spin-1/2 particle yields consistent results. In contrast, second- order quantum theories, such as the Klein-Gordon theory, the electroweak theory of W^±, Z the particles, and the Higgs boson theory are inherently wrong.
