Abstract

Optically driven semiconductor quantum dots have many features similar to simpler atomic systems but with the potential for much easier development of large scale architectures for novel ideas in quantum optoelectronics. Of current interest is their potential for application to quantum information science. Here, we show the ability to perform arbitrary qubit rotation and conditional quantum logic operations in a single dot as well as showing the ability now to optically manipulate and control the electronic spin of a single electron.
