Abstract

The authors delve into the dynamics of vortex electrons as they transition from a vacuum into a magnetic field and propagate within it. They show that nonstationary Laguerre-Gaussian states offer a genuine description of the electron motion, revealing oscillations in the electrons' root-mean-square radius, which is significantly larger than expected.
