We considered one-dimensional quantum chains of two-level Fermi particles coupled via the tunneling driven both by ac and dc fields in the regimes of strong and ultrastrong coupling. The frequency of ac field is matched with the frequency of the quantum transition. Based on the fundamental principles of electrodynamics and quantum theory, we developed a general model of quantum dynamics for such interactions. We showed that the joint action of ac and dc fields leads to the strong mutual influence of Rabi- and Bloch oscillations one to another. We focused on the regime of ultrastrong coupling, for which Bloch- and Rabi-frequencies are a significant values of the frequency of interband transition. The Hamiltonian was solved numerically with account of anti-resonant terms. It manifests by the appearance of great number of narrow high-amplitude resonant lines in the spectra of tunneling current and dipole moment. We proposed the new concept of THz spectroscopy promising for different applications in future nanoelectronics and nano-photonics.
