The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest
picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of …

This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

The updated and enlarged new edition of this book provides an introduction to and an
overview of semiconductor optics from the IR through the visible to the UV. It includes …

During the past few years, researchers have gained unprecedented control over spins in the
solid state. What was considered almost impossible a decade ago, in both conceptual and …

The mesoscopic spin system formed by the 10 4–10 6 nuclear spins in a semiconductor
quantum dot offers a unique setting for the study of many-body spin physics in the …

We observed mixing between two-electron singlet and triplet states in a double quantum dot,
caused by interactions with nuclear spins in the host semiconductor. This mixing was …

The fast dephasing of electron spins in an ensemble of quantum dots is detrimental for
applications in quantum information processing. We show here that dephasing can be …

Self-assembled quantum dots have excellent photonic properties. For instance, a single
quantum dot is a high-brightness, narrow-linewidth source of single photons. Furthermore …

The spin of an electron is a natural two-level system for realizing a quantum bit in the solid
state,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. For an electron trapped in a semiconductor quantum dot, strong quantum …

Develo** a quantum photonics network requires a source of very-high-fidelity single
photons. An outstanding challenge is to produce a transform-limited single-photon emitter to …
