Abstract We propose a spin-charge qubit based on a bilayer graphene and WSe2 van der Waals heterostructure that together form a quantum dot and demonstrate its functionality from first-principles simulations. Electron and hole confinement as well as electrically controllable spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are modeled by self-consistently solving the Schrödinger and Poisson equations with material parameters extracted from density functional theory as inputs.
