Choose a nonnegative , with , supported in a small double cone. Choose a smooth free solution equal to on a neighborhood of that cone, with smooth compactly supported Cauchy data.
Such a solution is obtained by taking zero initial field and a smooth velocity cutoff equal to one on a sufficiently large ball. Finite propagation speed makes it equal to on the desired cone. Its data have a finite massless one-particle norm, so its Weyl displacement defines a coherent state .
For vacuum-normal-ordered fields, coherent displacement gives
This follows by shifting the creation and annihilation operators by their displacement constants.
