conductance of a Corbino disk in a quantum Hall regime This figure shows the local density of state of a quantum billiard with a stadium shape.
------------------------------------------------------ The entire code to perform this calculation (including making the figure) is reproduced below and is, as one can see, rather small.

Transport properties of a Corbino disk across a quantum Hall transition. Left
panel: winding number of the reflection matrix, which has to change from 0 to 1
across the transition. Right panel: conductance across the transition, showing
quantized conductance peaks.

* A piece of bilayer graphene lattice. In this example, one can see a quantum wire (gray) to which is attached a superconducting electrode (blue).
* A quantum wire (gray) attached to a superconducting electrode (blue) give rise to a Majorana bound states This device has been built in order to give rise to a Majorana bound states close to the superconducting-normal interface.
