Popis: To simulate the quantum systems at classical or quantum computers, it is necessary to reduce continuous observables (e.g. coordinate and momentum or energy and time) to discrete ones. In this work we consider the continuous observables represented in the positional systems as a series of powers of the radix mulitplied over the summands (``digits``), which turn out to be Hermitean operators with discrete spectrum. We investigate the obtained quantum mechanical operators of digits, the commutation relations between them and the effects of choice of numeral system on the lattices and representations. Furthermore, during the construction of the digital representation renormalizations of diverging sums naturally occur.
