dots is among the most promising candidates for quantum
information processing in the solid state. Optical selection
rules make it possible to control and measure spins in isolated
quantum dots optically. The implementation of large-scale
quantum algorithms requires architectures of coupled quantum
dots to implement two-qubit gates. Constructing an efficient
interface between spin and photon quantum states is crucial for
applications in quantum communication.  We will discuss recent
experimental and theoretical work on molecularly coupled quantum
dots [1,2] and quantum dot cavity-QED [3]. Using time-resolved
Faraday rotation, we have recently d
