Interference of real and virtual transitions in quantum dot chains — •Fernando Gallego-Marcos, Rafael Sánchez, and Gloria Platero — Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC), Spain

We analyzed long-range transport through an ac driven triple quantum dot. Resonant transitions between separated and detuned dots are mediated by the exchange of n photons with the time-dependent field. An effective model is proposed in terms of higher-order transitions which involve the virtual only occupation of the intermediate dot [1]. The ac driving modulates the tunneling processes within the quantum dot system [2]. We investigate the interplay between real transitions through the centre dot and virtual long-range tunneling. We find configurations where the two paths interfere destructively and totally block the current. The effect of the driving phase will be emphasized.
