18. We attribute the different signals of dots B and C for co/cross polarized excitation in Fig. 3 to mechanical drift of the setup. The signal is optimized for dot A, resulting in a robust signal, whereas the unoptimized signals of peaks B and C are more sensitive to changes in the setup. All possible transitions: 0- X0, 0-2 X0, X0 -2 X0, and h- X+ associated with dot A have been identified. Under resonant excitation peaks B and C, show a 0- X0 like Rabi rotation, as do peaks observed in other apertures. These Rabi rotations have longer periods due to inefficient dot laser coupling, which we attribute to the relative position of dots B and C, with respect to the aperture. Similar features in other apertures are randomly distributed in energy with respect to the stronger peaks, further underlining their identity as separate dots.
19. The photocurrent detection efficiency is limited by the hole tunneling rate as shown in Ref.. Hence the X0 -2 X0 signal, which involves tunneling of two holes, is weaker than the 0- X0 signal at this bias.
