We review the progress and main challenges in implementing large-scale quantum
computing by optical control of electron spins in quantum dots (QDs). Relevant systems …

We propose a quantum nondemolition method—a giant optical Faraday rotation near the
resonant regime to measure a single-electron spin in a quantum dot inside a microcavity …

Coupled quantum dots (CQDs) that consist of two InAs QDs stacked along the growth
direction and separated by a relatively thin tunnel barrier have been the focus of extensive …

Quantum computation requires a continuous supply of rapidly initialized qubits for quantum
error correction. Here, we demonstrate fast spin state initialization with near unity efficiency …

The spin of an electron is a promising memory state and qubit. Connecting spin states that
are spatially far apart will enable quantum nodes and quantum networks based on the …

We present a deterministic and scalable scheme to generate photon polarization
entanglement via a single electron spin confined in a charged quantum dot inside a …

Quantum dots in cavities have been shown to be very bright sources of indistinguishable
single photons. Yet the quantum interference between two such bright quantum dot sources …

A method is proposed for the optical rotation of the spin of an electron in a quantum dot
using excited trion states to implement operations significantly faster than those of most …

Using linear optical manipulation, single photons, entangled photon pairs, photon
measurement, and classical communication, we propose a scheme for a two-spin-qubit …

We demonstrate optical control of the geometric phase acquired by one of the spin states of
an electron confined in a charge-tunable InAs quantum dot via cyclic 2 π excitations of an …
