In this paper, we discuss the concept of quantum graphs with transparent vertices by considering the case where the graph interacts with an external time-independent field. In particular, we address the problem of transparent boundary conditions for quantum graphs, building on previous work on transparent boundary conditions for the stationary Schrodinger equation on a line. Physically relevant constraints making the vertex transparent under boundary conditions in the form of (weight) continuity and Kirchhoff rules are derived using two methods, the scattering approach and transparent boundary conditions for the time-independent Schrodinger equation. The latter is derived by extending the transparent boundary condition concept to the time-independent Schrodinger equation on driven quantum graphs. We also discuss how the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a quantum graph are influenced not only by its topology, but also by the shape(type) of a potential when an external field is involved.
