A novel magnetic interference effect is proposed for a neutral, but polarizable exciton in a quantum ring with a finite width. The magnetic interference effect originates from the nonzero dipole moment in the exciton. The ground state of…

When atoms come together and bond, we call these new states molecules, and their properties determine many aspects of our daily life. Strangely enough, it is conceivable for light and molecules to bond, creating new hybrid light-matter…
