Ultrafast coherent control and suppressed nuclear feedback of a single quantum dot hole qubit

Electron spin in quantum dots are extensively studied as a qubit for quantum information processing. However, the coherence of electron spin is deleteriously influenced by nuclear spin. Quantum-dot holes are a potential alternative. Full control over hole-spin qubits is now achieved using picosecond lasers.
