For the optical manipulation of a single quantum system, diverse approaches such as Rabi Oscillations and the Adiabatic Rapid Passage are well established techniques. For instance they are used to realize quantum gates or single photon sources. To achieve an inversion as complete as possible we present a new possibility by examining a single quantum system with V-type three level scheme, a common ground state and two distinguishable and separately excitable transitions. Their sequential, pulsed excitation allows for the preparation of a robust, fault-tolerant and phase-insensitive inversion. We experimentally demonstrate and theoretically describe this concept, which is based on the polarization-selective excitation of a fine structure split exciton ground state in a single InGaAs quantum.
