8 KWANT package for quantum transport calculations at equilibrium Kwant developers: C. Groth, X. Waintal (CEA Grenoble, INAC) A. Akhmerov, J. Weston, M. Wimmer (TU Delft) Arbitrary non-interacting tight-binding model: H = H ij c i i,j i = site + internal degrees of freedom (spin, atomic orbital, electron-hole) c j Abritrary lattice (square, honeycomb, ) Abritrary shape with disorder, spin-orbit, magnetic field, with superconductivity Solver based on the wavefunction formulation of the scattering problem (as opposed to the Green s function formulation) (Publicly available) Python package with a user-friendly interface - Groth et al., New J. Phys. 16, (2014)
9 What can we calculate with Kwant? Transmission T ji (E) from lead i to lead j Quantum Hall conductance plateaus with disorder Local density of states (and local currents) Armchair graphene nanoribbon in the QH regime with superconductivity Bandstructure of a translationally invariant system Plot of the wavefunction in a closed system A growing community (several hundreds of users) More than 100 published papers using Kwant Used for designing experiments in the lab
