Abstract
The effects of dynamic localization in a solid-state system — a quantum dot — are considered. The theory of weak dynamic localization is developed for non-interacting electrons in a closed quantum dot under arbitrary time-dependent perturbation and its equivalence to the theory of weak Anderson localization is demonstrated. The dephasing due to inelastic electron scattering is shown to destroy the dynamic localization in a closed quantum dot leading to the classical energy absorption at times much greater than the inelastic scattering time. Finally a realistic case of a dot weakly connected to leads is studied and it is shown that the dynamic localization may lead to a drastic change of the shape of the Coulomb blockade peak in the dc conductance vs the gate voltage.
