We consider Raman type optical transitions between electron spin states and take into account the additional effect of the Overhauser field. We calculate average fidelities of rotations around characteristic axes in the presence of nuclear spins analytically with perturbation theory up to second order in the Overhauser field. Moreover, we calculate the fidelity using numerical averaging over the nuclear field distribution, including arbitrary orders of the hyperfine interaction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-23T13:18:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "semiconductor quantum dots", "optically induced single-spin rotations", "nuclear spins", "overhauser field", "single electron spins" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1002/pssb.201350412", "journal": "Physica Status Solidi B Basic Research", "year": 2014, "month": "Sep", "volume": 251, "number": 9, "pages": 1938 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PSSBR.251.1938H" } } }
