TLDR
This Review covers the basic materials and optical properties of single quantum dots, techniques for initializing, manipulating and reading out single spin qubits, and the mechanisms that limit the electron-spin and hole-spin coherence.
Abstract
Single spins trapped in self-assembled quantum dots present rich opportunities for studying their quantum mechanical properties. This Review surveys their optical properties, and the techniques for initializing, manipulating and reading out single spin qubits in these structures.

Strain-Induced Spatial and Spectral Isolation of Quantum Emitters in Mono- and Bilayer WSe2

TL;DR: It is shown that the quantum emitter emission energy can be red-tuned up to a remarkable ∼170 meV and the fine-structure, magneto-optics, and second-order coherence of a strained emitter are probed.

Quantum computation with quantum dots

TL;DR: In this paper, a universal set of one-and two-quantum-bit gates for quantum computation using the spin states of coupled single-electron quantum dots is proposed, and the desired operations are effected by the gating of the tunneling barrier between neighboring dots.

Optical microcavities

TL;DR: In quantum optical devices, microcavities can coax atoms or quantum dots to emit spontaneous photons in a desired direction or can provide an environment where dissipative mechanisms such as spontaneous emission are overcome so that quantum entanglement of radiation and matter is possible.

Spins in few-electron quantum dots

TL;DR: In this article, the physics of spins in quantum dots containing one or two electrons, from an experimentalist's viewpoint, are described, and various methods for extracting spin properties from experiment are presented, restricted exclusively to electrical measurements.
