1. We take a generic continuum Hamiltonian, written in terms of the kinetic
momentum :math:`\vec{k}`. The Hamiltonian must be translationally
invariant along the directions perpendicular to the field direction.
2. We substitute the momenta perpendicular to the magnetic field with the ladder
operators :math:`a` and :math:`a^\dagger`.
3. We construct a `kwant.builder.Builder` using a special lattice which includes
the Landau level index :math:`n` as a degree of freedom on each site. The directions
normal to the field direction are not included in the builder, because they are
encoded in the Landau level index.
This procedure is automated with `kwant.continuum.discretize_landau`.
