13. The laser is tuned slightly above the absorption edge of the PQW in order to minimize artifacts due to voltage dependence on the amplitudes of Kerr and Faraday rotation signals.

16. 2v in the molecular notation, breaking the degeneracy of g tensor in the plane of the quantum well. We assumed that this anisotropy is small and negligible for ease of analysis.
17. We minimized the nuclear polarization by making the g-TMR resonance positions at positive and negative fields symmetric. This does not eliminate nuclear polarization due to Zeeman splitting of electron spins, but we estimate the nuclear field to be less than 100 mT at 4 T.

19. 0. We also note that the simulation curve in Fig. 3B has been scaled up by a factor of ∼200.
20. The signal was averaged from φ = 0 to 2π rad to reduce artifacts [see (13)], and this makes the line shape closer to a Lorentzian.
