contents The spin of a charged semiconductor quantum dot (QD) coupled to an optical cavity is a promising candidate for high fidelity spin-photon interfaces; the cavity selectively modifies the decay rates of optical transitions such that spin initialisation, manipulation, and readout are all possible in a single magnetic field geometry. By performing cavity QED calculations, we show that a cavity with a single, linearly-polarised mode can simultaneously support both high-fidelity optical spin initialisation and readout in a single, in-plane (Voigt geometry) magnetic field. Furthermore, we demonstrate that single mode cavities always outperform bi-modal cavities in experimentally favourable driving regimes. Our analysis, when combined with established methods of control in a Voigt geometry field, provides optimal parameter regimes for high-fidelity initialisation and readout, and coherent control in both cavity configurations, providing insights for the design and development of QD spin-photon interfaces as the basis of quantum network nodes and for the generation of photonic graph states.
