We investigate current cumulants for the transport in coupled quantum dots driven by a time-periodic field that sweeps the system repeatedly through an avoided crossing and, thus, acts like a beam splitter. Consequently, as a function of the detuning and the driving amplitude, the cumulants exhibit Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana (LZSM) interference patterns similar to those observed for the current in driven double quantum dots [1]. These patterns indicate regions with sub- and super-Poissonian noise level. As a flexible method that allows us to study driving fields with arbitrary shape, we developed a propagation scheme for the iterative computation of current cumulants. We demonstrate that it is applicable also for larger systems such as quantum dot arrays or dimer chains.
