ABSTRACT
Significant progress has beenmade toward robust control of spins in
quantum dots (QDs) driven by advances in growth techniques along
with increasingly precise and selective measurements. Experiments
in single QDs have demonstrated coherent manipulation [1], optical
spin injection [2], discrete charge state control [3], long lifetimes [4],
and scalability [5]. These physical properties, together with the vast
technological infrastructure built around semiconductor materials,
have led many to suggest semiconductor QDs as a promising
platform for quantum information processing.
