The controlled interaction of several quantum dots (QDs) mediated by plasmonic or photonic nanostructures promises interesting new functionality in the fields of quantum computing and telecommunication. Ultrafast laser pulses can be used to write and read out the state of the QD. We review ultrafast coherent spectroscopy of single QDs. The focus of this article is on the technique of transient reflection...
