We perform time-dependent simulations of spin exchange for an electron pair in laterally coupled quantum dots. The calculation is based on configuration interaction scheme accounting for spin-orbit (SO) coupling and electron-electron interaction in a numerically exact way. Noninteracting electrons exchange orientations of their spins in a manner that can be understood by interdot tunneling associated with spin precession in an effective SO magnetic field that results in anisotropy of the spin swap. The Coulomb interaction blocks the electron transfer between the dots but the spin transfer and spin precession due to SO coupling is still observed. The electron-electron interaction additionally induces an appearance of spin components in the direction of the effective SO magnetic field which are opposite in both dots. Simulations indicate that the isotropy of the spin swap is restored for equal Dresselhaus and Rashba constants and properly oriented dots.
