Direct measurements of spin fluctuations are becoming the mainstream approach for studies
of complex condensed matter, molecular, nuclear, and atomic systems. This review covers …

The theory of spin noise in low-dimensional systems and bulk semiconductors is reviewed.
Spin noise is usually detected by optical means continuously measuring the rotation angle …

In recent years, the physics community has experienced a revival of interest in spin effects in
solid state systems. On one hand, the solid state systems, particularly, semiconductors and …

The interaction between a confined electron and the nuclei of an optically active quantum
dot provides a uniquely rich manifestation of the central spin problem. Coherent qubit control …

The spin fluctuations of electron and hole doped self-assembled quantum dot ensembles
are measured optically in the low-intensity limit of a probe laser for absence and presence of …

Electron spin dephasing in a singly charged semiconductor quantum dot can partially be
suppressed by periodic laser pulsing. We propose a semiclassical approach describing the …

The spin dynamics in a broad range of systems can be studied using circularly polarized
optical excitation with alternating helicity. The dependence of spin polarization on the …

Nuclear quadrupolar resonance (NQR) spectroscopy reveals chemical bonding patterns in
materials and molecules through the unique coupling between nuclear spins and local …

We measure time correlators of a spin qubit in an optically active quantum dot beyond the
second order. Such higher-order correlators are shown to be directly sensitive to pure …

Periodic laser pulsing of singly charged semiconductor quantum dots in an external
magnetic field leads to a synchronization of the spin dynamics with the optical excitation …
