For the real scalar field expansion ϕ=∫d3p[ap​e−ipx+ap†​eipx]/((2π)32Ep​​), the equal-time fields extract ap​=eiEt∫d3xe−ip⋅x[E/2​ϕ+iπ/2E​]. The two mixed canonical commutation relation terms yield [ap​,aq†​]=(2π)3δ3(p−q), while the other oscillator commutators vanish. This verifies the normalization of the mode expansion directly from the canonical fields.
