We investigate the dynamics of two interacting electrons confined to a pair of coupled quantum dots driven by an external ac field. By numerically integrating the two-electron Schrodinger equation in time, we find that for certain values of the strength and frequency of the ac field the electrons can become localized within just one of the dots, in spite of the Coulomb repulsion. Reducing the system to an effective two-site model of Hubbard type, and applying Floquet theory, leads to a detailed…
