Magnetic-optical transitions induced by twisted light in quantum dots
It has been theoretically predicted that light carrying orbital angular momentum, or twisted light, can be tuned to have a strong magnetic-field component at optical frequencies. We here consider the interaction of these peculiar fields with a semiconductor quantum dot and show that the magnetic int...
