Let . Since charge conjugation sends both and either Noether current to its negative and commutes with time ordering,For odd the correlator equals its negative and hence vanishes. This operator argument is exact and does not use a perturbation expansion. It is Furry's theorem: scattering amplitudes with an odd number of external photons and no charged external particles vanish to every order, whereas even-photon scattering is allowed.
