Abstract
In recent years much attention has been paid to the quantized evolution of the centre-of-mass momentum and position of ultracold atoms in light fields. We consider the effects resulting from the quantization of the external angular momentum variables. We investigate how spin and orbital angular momentum of light are transferred to internal and external angular momentum of an atom in dipole and quadrupole transitions.
