Absorption rate on a quantised EM field

In summary, the conversation discusses the problem of considering the next state for the EM field, given by ##|A\rangle=\frac{1}{\sqrt{N!}}\left ( \int e^{-k^2} \boldsymbol{a}^\dagger_{k,+} \right )^N |0\rangle##, and a particle in the unique bound state for spherical potential ##V(r)=-\delta ^\prime(r)/r##. The question is whether the initial state for the field, |A>, can absorb a photon. The person mentions considering the use of the Fermi golden rule, but is unsure how to proceed and asks for advice.

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 $.
