contents Within the first principle calculations, we propose a boron and nitrogen cluster incorporated graphene system for efficient valley polarization. The broken spatial inversion symmetry results in high Berry curvature at K and K' valleys of the hexagonal Brillouin zone in this semiconducting system. The consideration of excitonic quasiparticles within GW approximation along with their scattering processes within many-body Bethe-Salpeter equation gives rise to an optical gap of 1.72 eV with an excitonic binding energy of 0.65 eV. Owing to the negligible intervalley scattering, the electrons in opposite valleys are selectively excited by left- and right-handed circular polarized lights, as evident from the oscillator strength calculations. Therefore, this system can exhibit circular-dichroism valley Hall effect in the presence of the in-plane electric field. Moreover, such excitonic qubits can be exploited for information processing.
