Abstract
The ability to optically drive a single electron spin confined to a quantum dot from an absorbing state to a trapped coherent dark state could be the key to realizing optical switches and other quantum optical devices.

Coherent population trapping of an electron spin in a single negatively charged quantum dotNature Physics Letter (01 Sep 2008)
The ability to coherently manipulate single electrons and photons is vital for quantum information processing. Experiments now demonstrate optical initialization, manipulation and probing of a single quantum dot on femtosecond timescales, revealing signatures of interaction effects, optical gain and the ability to change the number of quanta in a light pulse by one.
