We find that the interplay between the RSOI and DSOI makes the single quantum ring behaves like a laterally coupled quantum dot and the interdot coupling can be tuned by changing the strengths of the SOIs. The interplay can lead to singlet-triplet state mixing and anticrossing behavior when the singlet and triplet states meet with increasing magnetic field. The two electron ground state displays a bar-bell-like spatial anisotropic distribution in a quantum ring at a specific ¯ crystallographic direction, i.e., 110 or 110, which can be switched by reversing the direction of the per- pendicular electric field. The ground state exhibits a singlet-triplet state transition with increa
