The spin degree of freedom of an electron or a nucleus is one of the most basic properties of
nature and functions as an excellent qubit, as it provides a natural two-level system that is …

The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest
picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of …

Experimental and theoretical progress toward quantum computation with spins in quantum
dots (QDs) is reviewed, with particular focus on QDs formed in GaAs heterostructures, on …

The ability to control the quantum state of a single electron spin in a quantum dot is at the
heart of recent developments towards a scalable spin-based quantum computer. In …

Manipulation of single spins is essential for spin-based quantum information processing.
Electrical control instead of magnetic control is particularly appealing for this purpose …

The mesoscopic spin system formed by the 10 4–10 6 nuclear spins in a semiconductor
quantum dot offers a unique setting for the study of many-body spin physics in the …

This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

Electron spins in semiconductors are promising qubits because their long coherence times
enable nearly 109 coherent quantum gate operations. However, developing a scalable high …

During the past few years, researchers have gained unprecedented control over spins in the
solid state. What was considered almost impossible a decade ago, in both conceptual and …

We theoretically study the interaction of a heavy hole with nuclear spins in a quasi-two-
dimensional III–V semiconductor quantum dot and the resulting dephasing of heavy-hole …
