From <strong>electron</strong> <strong>sp<strong>in</strong>s</strong> to <strong>hole</strong> <strong>sp<strong>in</strong>s</strong><br />

Electron <strong>sp<strong>in</strong>s</strong>:<br />

• very advanced platform for quantum <strong>in</strong>formation process<strong>in</strong>g<br />

(s<strong>in</strong>gle-sp<strong>in</strong> rotations, s<strong>in</strong>gle-sp<strong>in</strong> readout, coherent exchange)<br />

• decoherence due to nuclear <strong>sp<strong>in</strong>s</strong> is a challenge <strong>in</strong> III-V semiconductors<br />

Hole <strong>sp<strong>in</strong>s</strong>:<br />

• weaker hyperf<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>teraction (longer sp<strong>in</strong> coherence)<br />

(e.g. Brunner et al., Science (2009); DeGreve et al., Nat. Phys. (2011))<br />

• stronger sp<strong>in</strong>-<strong>orbit</strong> coupl<strong>in</strong>g (enhanced sp<strong>in</strong> <strong>control</strong>)<br />

(e.g. Manaselyan et al., Europhys. Lett. (2009); Kloeffel et al., PRB (2011))<br />

• <strong>control</strong> may facilitate sp<strong>in</strong>-to-photon conversion<br />

• … but challeng<strong>in</strong>g fabrication few sp<strong>in</strong> transport studies to date<br />
