Absorption rate on a quantised EM field

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the absorption rate of a photon in a quantised electromagnetic (EM) field represented by the state |A⟩ = (1/√N!) (∫ e^{-k^2} a†_{k,+})^N |0⟩. The context involves a particle in a unique bound state under a spherical potential defined by V(r) = -δ'(r)/r. The user seeks advice on applying the Fermi golden rule for this scenario, indicating a need for clarity on its implementation in this specific quantum field theory context.

I have this problem:
Consider the next state for the EM field: ##|A\rangle=\frac{1}{\sqrt{N!}}\left ( \int e^{-k^2} \boldsymbol{a}^\dagger_{k,+} \right )^N |0\rangle##. There is a particle in the unique bound state for spherical potential ##V(r)=-\delta ^\prime(r)/r##. for absorb a photon if the initial state for field is |A>? I was thinking use the Fermi golden rule but I can't figure out. Any advice?

@brunow : I used magic moderator powers to edit your post to correct the inline LaTeX. The correct way to do inline LaTeX is to use ##, not $.
