The equal time commutators of the fields are calculated from basic principles. A physical discussion of the commutators suggest that the electromagnetic fields are macroscopic emergent properties of more fundamental physical system: the photons.Quantum PhysicsUnderstanding light quanta: First quantization of the free electromagnetic fieldtext
