We propose a technique to initialize an electron spin in a semiconductor quantum dot with a single short optical pulse. It relies on the fast depletion of the initial spin state followed by a preferential, Purcell-accelerated desexcitation towards the desired state thanks to a micropillar cavity. We theoretically discuss the limits on initialization rate and fidelity, and derive the pulse area for optimal initialization. We show that spin initialization is possible using a single optical pulse down to a few tens of picoseconds wide.

We present a method for reading out the spin state of electrons in a quantum dot that is robust against charge noise and can be used even when the electron temperature exceeds the energy splitting between the states. The spin states are first correla
ted to different charge states using a spin dependence of the tunnel rates. A subsequent fast measurement of the charge on the dot then reveals the original spin state. We experimentally demonstrate the method by performing read-out of the two-electron spin states, achieving a single-shot visibility of more than 80%. We find very long triplet-to-singlet relaxation times (up to several milliseconds), with a strong dependence on in-plane magnetic field.
We describe theoretically the resonant optical excitation of a trion with circularly polarized light and discuss how this trion permits the read-out of a single electron spin through a recycling transition. Optical pumping through combination of circ
ularly polarized optical $pi$--pulses with permanent or $pi$-- pulsed transverse magnetic fields suggests feasible protocols for spin initialization.
We demonstrate fast initialization of a single hole spin captured in an InGaAs quantum dot with a fidelity F>99% by applying a magnetic field parallel to the growth direction. We show that the fidelity of the hole spin, prepared by ionization of a ph
oto-generated electron-hole pair, is limited by the precession of the exciton spin due to the anisotropic exchange interaction.
We demonstrate all optical electron spin initialization, storage and readout in a single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dot. Using a single dot charge storage device we monitor the relaxation of a single electron over long timescales exceeding 40{mu}s
. The selective generation of a single electron in the quantum dot is performed by resonant optical excitation and subsequent partial exciton ionization; the hole is removed from the quantum dot whilst the electron remains stored. When subject to a magnetic field applied in Faraday geometry, we show how the spin of the electron can be prepared with a polarization up to 65% simply by controlling the voltage applied to the gate electrode. After generation, the electron spin is stored in the quantum dot before being read out using an all optical implementation of spin to charge conversion technique, whereby the spin projection of the electron is mapped onto the more robust charge state of the quantum dot. After spin to charge conversion, the charge state of the dot is repeatedly tested by pumping a luminescence recycling transition to obtain strong readout signals. In combination with spin manipulation using fast optical pulses or microwave pulses, this provides an ideal basis for probing spin coherence in single self-assembled quantum dots over long timescales and developing optimal methods for coherent spin control.
Electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots are good candidates of quantum bits for quantum information processing. Basic operations of the qubit have been realized in recent years: initialization, manipulation of single spins, two qubit entanglemen
t operations, and readout. Now it becomes crucial to demonstrate scalability of this architecture by conducting spin operations on a scaled up system. Here, we demonstrate single-electron spin resonance in a quadruple quantum dot. A few-electron quadruple quantum dot is formed within a magnetic field gradient created by a micro-magnet. We oscillate the wave functions of the electrons in the quantum dots by applying microwave voltages and this induces electron spin resonance. The resonance energies of the four quantum dots are slightly different because of the stray field created by the micro-magnet and therefore frequency-resolved addressable control of the electron spin resonance is possible.
