A form of quantum control is proposed by applying twisted light, also known as optical vortex beams, to drive ultranarrow atomic transitions in neutral Ca, Mg, Yb, Sr, Hg, and Cd bosonic isotopes. This innovative all-optical spectroscopic method introduces spatially tailored electric and magnetic fi...
