Abstract
In many physical applications, bound states and/or resonances are observed, which raises the question whether these states are elementary or composite. Here we elaborate on several methods for calculating the compositeness X of bound states and resonances in Quantum Mechanics, and in Quantum Field Theory by introducing particle number operators. For resonances X is typically complex and we discuss how to get meaningful results by using certain phase transformations in the S matrix.
