• Abstract summary: We show that acoustic phonon-assisted excitation can exploit polarization selective optical transitions to initialise and measure single spin states. We report a spin state detection fidelity of $94.7 pm 0.2 %$ granted by the optical selection rules and a $20pm5$ns hole spin coherence time.

• Abstract: Spins in semiconductor quantum dots are promising local quantum memories to generate polarization-encoded photonic cluster states, as proposed in the pioneering Rudolph-Lindner scheme [1]. However, harnessing the polarization degree of freedom of the optical transitions is hindered by resonant excitation schemes that are widely used to obtain high photon indistinguishability. Here we show that acoustic phonon-assisted excitation, a scheme that preserves high indistinguishability, also allows to fully exploit the polarization selective optical transitions to initialise and measure single spin states. We access the coherence of hole spin systems in a low transverse magnetic field and directly monitor the spin Larmor precession both during the radiative emission process of an excited state or in the quantum dot ground state. We report a spin state detection fidelity of $94.7 \pm 0.2 \%$ granted by the optical selection rules and a $20\pm5$~ns hole spin coherence time, demonstrating the potential of this scheme and system to generate linear cluster states with a dozen of photons

We find that the polarisation state of the reflected photons can be manipulated in most of the Poincar'e sphere, through controlled spin-induced rotations. This control allows the operation of spin-photon interfaces in various configurations, including at zero or low magnetic fields.
