situations including graphene, quantum Hall effect, topological insulators, superconductivity, semi-conductors,
spintronics, molecular electronics, any combination of the above and many other cases.
While all these systems have very distinct physics, their mathematical description is very close.
Kwant has been designed so that their computer implementation be also very close: changing a few lines of code is all that is needed to go from one example to another.
Kwant has been designed so that their computer implementation is also very close: changing a few lines of code is all that is needed to go from one example to another.
Kwant does not use the traditional ‘input' files often found in scientific softwares. Instead, one write small python
programs (benefiting from python simple and very powerful syntax) to "make" the sample and "measure" its quantum properties
(conductance, density of states, etc). Learning to use Kwant is very fast, no more than a couple of hours to get started.
How easy it is to use in practice is shown in the `tutorial </docs/tutorial/>`_ or in Kwant main 'article </paper>‘_.

The few examples shown in the image below illustrate a few recent applications:
Kwant is provided to the physics community as an open source free software (we merely ask you to quote Kwant article in scientific publications where
Kwant was used). Below is a rapid survey of a few applications where Kwant was used.
