Coherent optical control of the spin of a single hole in a quantum dot

This thesis describes experiments on the initialisation, coherent control, and readout of a single hole spin trapped in a self assembled InGaAs semiconductor quantum dot. High fidelity initialisation of a hole spin state is achieved by the fast ionisation of a spin polarised neutral exciton under an...
