摘要
A method is proposed for the optical rotation of the spin of an electron in a quantum dot using excited trion states to implement operations significantly faster than those of most existing proposals. Key ingredients are the geometric phase induced by 2 pi hyperbolic secant pulses, use of coherently trapped states and use of naturally dark states. Our proposal covers a variety of quantum dots by addressing different parameter regimes. Numerical simulations with typical parameters for InAs self-assembled quantum dots, including their dissipative dynamics, give fidelities of the operations in excess of 99%.
