Homework Statement
This is a problem in cosmology but I'll boil it down to the math. $n(\vec{x})$ is the (spatial) number density of particles. By the Fourier transform, $$n(\vec{x}) = \int\mathrm{d}^3k\ n_\vec{k}e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}$$. Also, $a(\vec{x})$ is the field representing the particle (a concept stemming from quantum field theory). By the Fourier transform, $$a(\vec{x}) = \int\mathrm{d}^3k\ a(\vec{k}) e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}$$.



It is known that $$n_\vec{k} = \omega a^2(\vec{k})$$, where $$\omega = \frac{k}{R}$$ and $R$ is a function of time only. I want to find an expression for $n(\vec{x})$ in terms of $a(\vec{x})$ and I was wondering if someone could help me out.
Relevant Equations
$$n(\vec{x}) = \int\mathrm{d}^3k\ n_\vec{k}e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}$$
$$a(\vec{x}) = \int\mathrm{d}^3k\ a(\vec{k}) e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}$$
$$n_\vec{k} = \omega a^2(\vec{k})$$
$$\omega = \frac{k}{R}$$
$$n_\vec{k} = \omega a^2(\vec{k})\tag{1}$$
One way is to write the inverse Fourier transforms of the terms above. So, eqn (1) becomes
$$\int\mathrm{d}^3x\ n(\vec{x})e^{-i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}} = \omega \int\mathrm{d}^3x^\prime\ a(\vec{x^\prime})e^{-i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x^\prime}} \int\mathrm{d}^3x^{\prime\prime}\ a(\vec{x^{\prime\prime}})e^{-i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x^{\prime\prime}}}$$
But I don't know how to proceed from here.

On the other hand, I could multiply both sides of eqn (1) by $$e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}e^{i\vec{k^\prime}\cdot\vec{x}}$$ and first writing $$a^2(\vec{k}) = a(\vec{k})a(\vec{k^\prime})$$ (don't know if this is right though).
$$n_\vec{k}e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}e^{i\vec{k^\prime}\cdot\vec{x}} = \omega a(\vec{k})a(\vec{k^\prime})e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}e^{i\vec{k^\prime}\cdot\vec{x}}$$
Integrating with respect to $\vec{k}$ and $\vec{k^\prime}$
$$\int\mathrm{d}^3k\ n_\vec{k}e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}\int\mathrm{d}^3k^\prime\ e^{i\vec{k^\prime}\cdot\vec{x}} = \omega \int\mathrm{d}^3k\ a(\vec{k})e^{i\vec{k}\cdot\vec{x}}\int\mathrm{d}^3k^\prime\ a(\vec{k^\prime})e^{i\vec{k^\prime}\cdot\vec{x}}$$
$$n(\vec{x})\delta^3({\vec{x}}) = \omega a^2(\vec{x})$$
But this isn't the answer I am looking for either and I suspect I am doing something wrong.

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
