Nonlinear Quantum Optics With Structured Light: Tightly Trapped Atoms in the 3D Focus of Vectorial Waves

Atomic gases tightly trapped near the focus of an electromagnetic wave interact with photons that exhibit a complex structure, displaying strong gradients of field amplitude and local polarization that can lead to topological phase singularities. We illustrate the consequences of this structure on a...
