Canonical quantization of a free scalar field theory, canonical commutation relations, mode expansion, a free field theory can be viewed as an infinite number of harmonic oscillators, expressing the Hamiltonian and other conserved charges in terms of oscillators, vacuum energy, structure of Hilbert space
