We show how two Raman-detuned laser pulses can be used to obtain arbitrary single-qubit rotations via the excitation of an intermediate trion state. Our theory takes into account a finite in-plane hole $g$-factor and hole-mixing. We show that such rotations can be performed to high fidelities with pulses lasting a few tens of picoseconds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-03-22T10:07:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "self-assembled inas quantum dots", "optically-controlled single-qubit rotations", "arbitrary single-qubit rotations", "intermediate trion state", "finite in-plane hole" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
