These experiments explore the evolution of the quantum states of holes in a double quantum dot. The focus is placed on the charge distribution and spin degrees of freedom, with a view toward developing quantum information technologies.enphysicssemiconductorlow-temperaturequantum informationqubitsholesspinDoctoral Thesis
