This paper studies the carrier-phonon dynamics in the optical control of the spin states in a single doped semiconductor quantum dot by means of a perturbation theory describing the open system evolution under arbitrary driving and a correlation expansion technique. This paper considers the phonon-induced decoherence accompanying a single-qubit gate: an arbitrary rotation between two selected electron spin states performed via stimulated adiabatic Raman transitions and virtual excitation of a trion state. The error of the quantum gate as well as the population and coherence dynamics is calculated depending on the driving duration and detuning and study the possible reduction of the phonon decoherence.
