We report on two-photon coherent control of the biexciton state in single Stranski-Krastanov CdSe quantum dots. Clear interference patterns are observed at twice the optical frequency. The decay of the interference contrast is nonexponential and caused by a dynamical inhomogeneous broadening of the energy levels due to long-term fluctuations in the dot environment.
