In this talk I will present the highlights of our recent research on the coherent optical control
of the exciton and spin states of a single InAs/GaAs quantum dot. We study a dot embedded
in a photodiode structure using a photocurrent detection technique, which is a measurement
of the absorption of the sequences of picosecond laser pulses used to resonantly excite the
dot. Using this experimental setup, we can investigate atom-like coherent light-matter
interactions in a solid-state context, and develop coherent control schemes to program the
quantum states of single quantum dots.
