This Chapter contains a review of the recent results, both experimental andtheoretical, related to optical control of carriers confined in semiconductorquantum dots. The physics of Rabi oscillations of exciton and biexciton occu-pations, as well as time-domain interference experiments are discussed. Next,the impact of carrier–phonon interaction in a semiconductor structure is de-scribed and modern methods of theoretical description of the carrier–phononkinetics and of the resulting dephasing are presented.
