Multi-physics coupling, composed of an intense THz laser and electric field, serves as a new approach to realize the ultrahigh-level enhancement on third-harmonic generation (THG) of cubic quantum dots (CQDs). The exchange of quantum states caused by anticrossing of intersubbands is demonstrated by the Floquet method and finite difference method with the increasing laser-dressed parameter and electric field. The results show that the rearrangement of the quantum states excites the THG coefficient of CQDs four orders of magnitude higher than that achieved with a single physical field. The optimal polarization direction of incident light that maximizes the THG exhibits strong stability along the z axis at high laser-dressed parameter and electric field.
