Some of the approaches to quantization in gravity theory concerning gravitationally bound systems are considered. Grades of quantization applicable to these systems have been classified in terms of quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and quantum geometrodynamics. Energy levels for the graviatom, Lemaître’s atom, quantum gravitational collapse have been calculated, and relationships for the masses of bound system components, as well as Universe’s birth probabilities, are presented to exemplify the properties of gravitationally bound systems. Objects and processes in them have been analyzed to construct quantum models of compact astrophysical objects and the early Universe.
