Formulation of the twisted-light-matter interaction at the phase singularity: Beams with strong magnetic fields

The formulation of the interaction of matter with singular light fields needs special care. In a recent article [G. F. Quinteiro, Phys. Rev. A 91, 033808 (2015)PLRAAN1050-294710.1103/PhysRevA.91.033808] we have shown that the Hamiltonian describing the interaction of a twisted-light beam having para...
