The interaction of a quantum-dot electron spin with the nuclear spins of its environment has attracted a lot of attention recently [1]. In equilibrium, the stochastic polarisation of the unperturbed nuclear spin bath leads to a splitting of the electron spin states. Here, we show that this effective Zeeman splitting is smaller than the linewidth of the charged exciton transition. The transitions in the unperturbed regime represent dynamically evolving Λ-systems. Harnessing these level schemes with sub-linewidth spin splittings, we implement spin-bath enabled coherent population trapping in the absence of an external magnetic field. We verify the coherence of the created spin state by coherent dark- and bright-state basis rotation through phase control of the laser fields, yielding arbitrary spin state initialisation and spin rotation with only hyperfine-induced spin orientation. The shown sub-linewidth level splitting advantageously reduces the influence of Larmor precession in spin manipulation schemes and facilitates photonic cluster state generation by triggered photon emission [2].
