We demonstrate coherent optical control of a single hole spin confined to an InAs/GaAs quantum dot. A superposition of hole spin states is created by fast (10-100 ps) dissociation of a spin-polarized electron-hole pair. Full control of the hole-spin is achieved by combining coherent rotations about two axes: Larmor precession of the hole-spin about an external Voigt geometry magnetic field, and rotation about the optical-axis due to the geometric phase shift induced by a picosecond laser pulse resonant with the hole-trion transition.

A hole spin is a potential solid-state q-bit, that may be more robust against nuclear spin induced dephasing than an electron spin. Here we propose and demonstrate the sequential preparation, control and detection of a single hole spin trapped on a s
elf-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot. The dot is embedded in a photodiode structure under an applied electric-field. Fast, triggered, initialization of a hole spin is achieved by creating a spin-polarized electron-hole pair with a picosecond laser pulse, and in an applied electric-field, waiting for the electron to tunnel leaving a spin-polarized hole. Detection of the hole spin with picosecond time resolution is achieved a second picosecond laser pulse to probe the positive trion transition, where a trion is created conditional on the hole spin to be detected as a change in photocurrent. Finally, using this setup we observe a Rabi rotation of the hole-trion transition that is conditional on the hole spin, which for a pulse-area of $2pi$ can be used to impart a phase-shift of $pi$ between the hole spin states, a non-general manipulation of the hole spin.
Spin qubits involving individual spins in single quantum dots or coupled spins in double quantum dots have emerged as potential building blocks for quantum information processing applications. It has been suggested that triple quantum dots may provid
e additional tools and functionalities. These include the encoding of information to either obtain protection from decoherence or to permit all-electrical operation, efficient spin busing across a quantum circuit, and to enable quantum error correction utilizing the three-spin Greenberger-Horn-Zeilinger quantum state. Towards these goals we demonstrate for the first time coherent manipulation between two interacting three-spin states. We employ the Landau-Zener-Stuckelberg approach for creating and manipulating coherent superpositions of quantum states. We confirm that we are able to maintain coherence when decreasing the exchange coupling of one spin with another while simultaneously increasing its coupling with the third. Such control of pairwise exchange is a requirement of most spin qubit architectures but has not been previously demonstrated.
In this work we demonstrate theoretically how to use external laser field to control the population inversion of a single quantum dot exciton qubit in a nanocavity. We consider the Jaynes-Cummings model to describe the system, and the incoherent loss
es were take into account by using Lindblad operators. We have demonstrated how to prepare the initial state in a superposition of the exciton in the ground state and the cavity in a coherent state. The effects of exciton-cavity detuning, the laser-cavity detunings, the pulse area and losses over the qubit dynamics are analyzed. We also show how to use a continuous laser pumping in resonance with the cavity mode to sustain a coherent state inside the cavity, providing some protection to the qubit against cavity loss.
Single holes confined in semiconductor quantum dots are a promising platform for spin qubit technology, due to the electrical tunability of the $g$-factor of holes. However, the underlying mechanisms that enable electric spin control remain unclear d
ue to the complexity of hole spin states. Here, we present an experimental and theoretical study of the $g$-factor of a single hole confined in an isotopically enriched silicon planar MOS quantum dot. Electrical characterisation of the 3x3 $g$-tensor shows that local electric fields can tune the g-factor by 500%, and we observe a sweet spot where d$g_{(1overline{1}0)}$/d$V$ = 0, offering a configuration to suppress spin decoherence caused by electrical noise. Numerical simulations show that unintentional electrode-induced strain plays a key role in mediating the coupling of hole spins to electric fields in these spin-qubit devices. These results open a path towards a previously unexplored technology; premeditated strain engineering for hole spin-qubits.
We demonstrate that the spin of a Cr atom in a quantum dot (QD) can be controlled optically and we discuss the main properties of this single spin system. The photoluminescence of individual Cr-doped QDs and their evolution in magnetic field reveal a
large magnetic anisotropy of the Cr spin induced by local strain. This results in a splitting of the Cr spin states and in a thermalization on the lower energy states states S$_z$=0 and S$_z$=$pm$1. The magneto-optical properties of Cr-doped QDs can be modelled by an effective spin Hamiltonian including the spin to strain coupling and the influence of the QD symmetry. We also show that a single Cr spin can be prepared by resonant optical pumping. Monitoring the intensity of the resonant fluorescence of the QD during this process permits to probe the dynamics of the optical initialization of the spin. Hole-Cr flip-flops induced by an interplay of the hole-Cr exchange interaction and the coupling with acoustic phonons are the main source of relaxation that explains the efficient resonant optical pumping. The Cr spin relaxation time is measured in the $mu s$ range. We evidence that a Cr spin couples to non-equilibrium acoustic phonons generated during the optical excitation inside or near the QD). Finally we show that the energy of any spin state of an individual Cr atom can be independently tuned by a resonant single mode laser through the optical Stark effect. All these properties make Cr-doped QDs very promising for the development of hybrid spin-mechanical systems where a coherent mechanical driving of an individual spin in an oscillator is required.
