The spin of a carrier trapped in a self-assembled quantum dot has the potential to be a
robust optically active qubit that is compatible with existing III–V semiconductor device …

We show that resonance fluorescence, ie, the resonant emission of a coherently driven two-
level system, can be realized with a semiconductor quantum dot. The dot is embedded in a …

We report experimental evidence identifying acoustic phonons as the principal source of the
excitation-induced-dephasing (EID) responsible for the intensity dam** of quantum dot …

Organic semiconductors offer expansive grounds to explore fundamental questions of spin
physics in condensed matter systems. With the emergence of organic spintronics and …

We study optically driven Rabi rotations of a quantum dot exciton transition between 5 and
50 K, and for pulse areas of up to 14 π. In a high driving field regime, the decay of the Rabi …

We report on Rabi oscillations of the biexciton in a single In x Ga 1− x As∕ Ga As quantum
dot, induced via a coherent two-photon process. In contrast to single-exciton Rabi …

We study the excitonic dynamics of a driven quantum dot under the influence of a phonon
environment, going beyond the weak exciton–phonon coupling approximation. By …

Detailed properties of resonance fluorescence from a single quantum dot in a micropillar
cavity are investigated, with particular focus on emission coherence in the dependence on …

We present a proposal to optically implement rotations of the electron spin in a quantum dot
about the growth direction (z axis). In particular, we make use of the analytic properties of …

Preparation of a specific quantum state is a required step for a variety of proposed quantum
applications. We report an experimental demonstration of optical quantum state inversion in …
