Quantum computer and long-distance quantum communication technologies require robust qubits that can be coherently controlled, interfaced and entangled. Single III-V semiconductor quantum-dots in microcavities are ultra-bright emitters of indistinguishable single photons, and single electron and hole spins confined in them can serve as embedded quantum memories. In this contribution, coherent control experiments of single electron and hole qubits in a Voigt magnetic field will be summarized. By employing spin echo techniques we obtain coherence times of both qubit carrier types in the microsecond-range. Within this time scale about 10^5 complete single qubit rotations can be coherently performed with ultrafast optical pulses. Utilizing the $\Lambda$-type system of a single quantum-dot containing a single electron spin and ultrafast non-linear frequency conversion, quantum-dot spin-photon entanglement is demonstrated and presented.
