Abstract
We investigate theoretically the long-distance coupling and spin exchange in an array of quantum dot spin qubits in the presence of microwaves. We find that photon-assisted cotunneling is boosted at resonances between photon and energies of virtually occupied excited states and show how to make it spin selective. We identify configurations that enable fast switching and spin echo sequences for efficient and nonlocal manipulation of spin qubits. We devise configurations in which the near-resonantly boosted cotunneling provides nonlocal coupling which, up to certain limit, does not diminish with distance between the manipulated dots before it decays weakly with inverse distance.
