Abstract

The implementation of quantum networks and distributive quantum information processing relies on interaction between stationary matter qubits and flying photons^1-6. The spin of a single electron or hole confined in a charged quantum dot is considered as a promising matter qubit as it possesses microsecond coherence time^7,8 and allows picosecond timescale control using optical pulses^9-12. The quantum dot spin can also interact with a photon by controlling the optical response of a strongly coupled cavity^13-15. So far most experimental demonstrations of the cavity spectrum control have used neutral quantum dots^16,17. Spin-dependent cavity spectrum has not been reported yet. Here, we report an experimental realization of a spin-photon transistor using a strongly coupled quantum dot and cavity system. We show large modulation of the cavity reflectivity by manipulating the spin states of the quantum dot. The spin-photon transistor is crucial for realizing a quantum logic gate or generating hybrid entanglement between a quantum dot spin and a photon^18-21. Our results represent an important step towards semiconductor based quantum logic devices and on-chip quantum networks.
