Excitons in InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots are an interesting implementation of qubits, especially concerning the interaction with photons. To achieve universal coherent control over a single qubit, a quantum phase gate is fundamental requirement. In our current contribution, we show that a quantum phase for an exciton qubit can be manipulated coherently by a non-resonant light field via the AC-Stark effect.

The effect of this non-resonant light field is investigated experimentally as well as theoretically by calculations based on the optical Bloch equations. In the experimental realization we used a Ramsey-like setup [1] to detect the phase shift and possible effects on the population of the qubit. Thereby, a first resonant laser pulse creates an coherent superposition of the exciton state and a second laser pulse after a fixed time delay probes the phase and population of the exciton qubit. During the delay time, the quantum phase is manipulated with either a non-resonant cw laser or a non-resonant ps laser pulse. We could demonstrate, that under selected conditions only the phase of the exciton qubit and not its population is influenced. The phase shift is thereby a function of the amplitude and the detuning of the non-resonant light field.
