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.
