With the invariant measure dΠp​=d3p/[(2π)32Ep​], a free complex scalar field has particle and antiparticle modes. At any fixed time the displayed inverse and b†(p)=∫d3xe−ip⋅x(Ep​ϕ−iϕ˙​) project onto its positive- and negative-frequency components. The equal-time canonical commutation relations then give [a(p),a†(q)]=[b(p),b†(q)]=(2π)32Ep​δ3(p−q); cross terms vanish because their coefficient contains Ep​−Eq​ on the momentum delta function.
