Quantum interference tuning of spin-orbit coupling in twisted van der Waals trilayers

We show that in van der Waals stacks of twisted hexagonal layers the proximity induced Rashba spin-orbit coupling can be affected by quantum interference. We calculate the quantum phase responsible for this effect in graphene–transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers as a function of interlayer twist...
