We consider current through triple and quadruple quantum dot systems in an in-plane electric field and in the sequential tunneling regime. The electric field breaks symmetry of the system and can trap electron in a dark state in which current flow can completely be blocked. Consequently rotating the electric field, one can observe current oscillations and blockades due to dark state.
