We measure the spin dephasing of holes localized in self-assembled (InGa)As quantum dots by spin noise spectroscopy. The localized holes show a distinct hyperfine interaction with the nuclear spin bath despite the p-type symmetry of the…
We investigate the electron and hole spin relaxation in an ensemble of self-assembled InAs/In$_{0.53}$Al$_{0.24}$Ga$_{0.23}$As/InP quantum dots with emission wavelengths around $1.5$~$\mu$m by pump-probe Faraday rotation spectroscopy.…
We advance spin noise spectroscopy to the ultimate limit of single spin detection. This technique enables the measurement of the spin dynamic of a single heavy hole localized in a flat (InGa)As quantum dot. Magnetic field and light…
Hole spin relaxation time due to the hole-acoustic phonon scattering in GaAs quantum dots confined in quantum wells along (001) and (111) directions is studied after the exact diagonalization of Luttinger Hamiltonian. Different effects such…
The temperature dependence of the coherence time of hole spins confined in self-assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots is studied by spin mode-locking and spin echo techniques. Coherence times limited to about a \mu s are measured for…
We investigate heavy-hole spin relaxation and decoherence in quantum dots in perpendicular magnetic fields. We show that at low temperatures the spin decoherence time is two times longer than the spin relaxation time. We find that the spin…
We present full atomistic calculations of the spin-flip time (T$_{1}$) of electrons and holes mediated by acoustic phonons in self-assembled In$_{1-x}$Ga$_x$As/GaAs quantum dots at zero magnetic field. At low magnetic field, the first-order…
Phonon-induced spin relaxation rates in quantum dots are studied as function of in-plane and perpendicular magnetic fields, temperature and electric field, for different dot sizes. We consider Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit mixing in…
Exciton spin relaxation is investigated in single epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots in order to test the expected spin relaxation quenching in this system. We study the polarization anisotropy of the photoluminescence signal…
In this work, we investigate hole spin-flip transitions in a single self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot. We find the hole wave functions using the 8-band $kp$ model and calculate phonon-assisted spin relaxation rates for the ground-state…
For the realisation of scalable solid-state quantum-bit systems, spins in semiconductor quantum dots are promising candidates. A key requirement for quantum logic operations is a sufficiently long coherence time of the spin system.…
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…
Spin inertia measurements are a novel experimental tool to study long-time spin relaxation processes in semiconductor nanostructures. We develop a theory of the spin inertia effect for resident electrons and holes localized in quantum dots.…
The phonon-induced spin relaxation in a two-dimensional quantum dot embedded inside a semiconductor slab is investigated theoretically. An enhanced relaxation rate is found due to the phonon van Hove singularities. Oppositely, a vanishing…
We study theoretically spin relaxation during phonon-assisted tunneling of a single electron in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum-dot molecules formed by vertically stacked dots. We find that the spin-flip tunneling rate may be as high as 1%…
Phonon-induced spin relaxation in coupled lateral quantum dots in the presence of spin-orbit coupling is calculated. The calculation for single dots is consistent with experiment. Spin relaxation in double dots at useful interdot couplings…
We report measurements of the longitudinal and transverse spin relaxation times of holes in an ensemble of self-assembled InAs/InAlGaAs quantum dots (QDs), emitting in the telecom spectral range. The spin coherence of a single carrier is…

We investigate theoretically spin relaxation in heavy hole quantum dots in low external magnetic fields. We demonstrate that two-phonon processes and spin-orbit interaction are experimentally relevant and provide an explanation for the…
We observe a strong dependence of the exciton spin relaxation in CdTe quantum dots on the average dot size and the depth of the confining potential. For the excitons confined to the as-grown CdTe quantum dots we find the spin relaxation…
