We present a simultaneous investigation of coherent spin dynamics in both localized and itinerant carriers in Fe/GaAs heterostructures using ultrafast and spin-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy. We find that for excitation densities that…

We present numerical results for electron spin relaxation rates for single and laterally coupled double GaAs quantum dots in a perpendicular magnetic field. As source of spin relaxation we consider hyperfine interaction with the nuclear…

Magnetic noise from randomly fluctuating nuclear spin ensembles is the dominating source of decoherence for many multi-quantum-dot multielectron spin qubits. Here we investigate in detail the effect of a DC electric current on the coupled…

This paper presents a study of electron spin dynamics in bulk GaAs at low temperatures for elevated optical excitation conditions. Our time-resolved Faraday rotation measurements yield sub-nanosecond electron spin dephasing-times over a…

We investigate exciton spin memory in individual InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots via optical alignment and conversion of exciton polarization in a magnetic field. Quasiresonant phonon-assisted excitation is successfully employed to…

A quasi-classical theoretical description of polarization and relaxation of nuclear spins in a quantum dot with one resident electron is developed for arbitrary mechanisms of electron spin polarization. The dependence of the…

The possibility to control the coherent decay of resonant excitations in nuclear forward scattering is investigated. By changing abruptly the direction of the nuclear hyperfine magnetic field, the coherent scattering of photons can be…

The use of single electron spins in quantum dots as qubits requires detailed knowledge about the processes involved in their initialization and operation as well as their relaxation and decoherence. In optical schemes for such spin qubits,…

Nuclear spins in certain solids couple weakly to their environment, making them attractive candidates for quantum information processing and inertial sensing. When coupled to the spin of an optically-active electron, nuclear spins can be…

We study the optical orientation of electron spins in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells for excitation in the growth direction and for in-plane excitation. Time- and polarization-resolved photoluminescence excitation measurements show, for resonant…

We investigate the effect of nuclear spins on the phase shift and polarisation rotation of photons scattered off a quantum dot-cavity system. We show that as the phase shift depends strongly on the resonance energy of an electronic…

We demonstrate the extension of coherence between all four two-electron spin ground states of an InAs quantum dot molecule (QDM) via non-local suppression of nuclear spin fluctuations in both constituent quantum dots (QDs), while optically…

The spin of a confined electron, when oriented originally in some direction, will lose memory of that orientation after some time. Physical mechanisms leading to this relaxation of spin memory typically involve either coupling of the…

Spin relaxation of a single electron in a weakly coupled double quantum dot is calculated numerically. The phonon assisted spin flip is allowed by the presence of the linear and cubic spin-orbit couplings and nuclear spins. The rate is…

We demonstrate dynamical nuclear spin polarization in the absence of an external magnetic field, by resonant circularly polarized optical excitation of a single electron or hole charged quantum dot. Optical pumping of the electron spin…

A method for high-field optically detected nuclear magnetic resonance (ODNMR) is developed sensitive to 10**8 nuclei. Nuclear spin transitions are induced using a radio frequency coil and detected through Faraday rotation spectroscopy.…

Decoherence in quantum logic gates (qubits) due to interaction with the surrounding environment is a major obstacle to the practical realization of quantum information technologies. For solid state electron-spin qubits the interaction with…

We present an investigation of the electron spin dynamics in an ensemble of singly-charged quantum dots subject to an external magnetic field and laser pumping with circularly polarized light. The spectral laser width is tailored such that…

We studied the spin dynamics of a Cr atom incorporated in a II-VI semiconductor quantum dot using photon correlation techniques. We used recently developed singly Cr-doped CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots (A. Lafuente-Sampietro {\it et al.}, [1]) to…

We present a theory of the optical control of the spin of an electron in an InAs quantum dot. We show how two Raman-detuned laser pulses can be used to obtain arbitrary single-qubit rotations via the excitation of an intermediate trion…
