The Kwant community
===================
The Kwant project is an international collaboration. Everybody is welcome to
participate in the community by asking and replying to questions, reporting
bugs, providing suggestions, and `contributing to the code and documentation
</contribute.html>`_.
The Kwant project is an international collaboration.
Everybody is welcome to participate in the community
by asking and replying to questions, reporting bugs, providing suggestions,
and `contributing to the code and documentation </contribute.html>`_.
A list of `Kwant authors </authors>`_ is included in the documentation.
Please only contact the authors directly for matters that cannot be discussed
in public on one of the mailing lists.
General mailing list
--------------------
The `kwant-discuss
<https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/kwant-discuss>`_ mailing list is
the main public communication platform for anything related to Kwant: questions,
bug reports, discussions, and announcements. You can use it in various ways:

Mailing list
------------
The kwant-discuss mailing list is the main public communication platform for anything related to Kwant:
questions, discussions, development, and announcements.
It may be used both as a web forum and as a classical mailing list.
Development list
----------------
The `kwant-discuss web interface <https://mail.python.org/archives/list/kwant-discuss@python.org/>`_
allows to follow discussions and search the archives.
Those who are interested the development of Kwant are invited to subscribe to
the `kwant-devel <https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/kwant-devel>`_
mailing list. This is the place for technical discussions about changes to
Kwant. Please do not send bug reports to this list but rather to kwant-discuss.
To start a new discussion thread, you may either use the web interface
(sign-in required)
or write directly to
kwant-discuss@python.org.
In order to avoid spam,
messages of unsubscribed participants are held for moderation.
Kwant-devel works in the same way as kwant-discuss:
Similarly, replying is possible either by mail
(if you received the post to which you want reply by mail),
or using the web interface:
the “reply” button under each message allows to compose directly
(for signed-in users),
or triggers a reply by mail (otherwise).

(To unsubscribe, use the `kwant-announce options page <https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/options/kwant-announce>`_.)
The Kwant project runs a `gitlab instance <https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/>`_
that hosts the `main Kwant code repository <https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant/kwant>`_
as well as the `repositories of related projects <https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant>`_.
The gitlab instance is used for reporting bugs (see next section) and `development </contribute.html>`_
Reporting bugs
--------------
If you encounter a problem with Kwant, first try to reproduce it with as
simple a system as possible. Double-check with the documentation that what
you observe is actually a bug in Kwant. If you think it is, please check `the
list of known bugs in Kwant
<https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant/kwant/issues?label_name=bug>`_. It
may be also a good idea to search or ask on the general mailing list. (You can
use the search box at the top of this page.)

Kwant extensions
================
Going beyond the core package, there are several tools that extend Kwant in useful ways.
You can check these out below.
If you have some re-usable code that you think would be useful to the wider Kwant community,
post to the `Kwant development mailing list <mailto:kwant-discuss@kwant-project.org>`_ with a
link to the code and a couple of sentences describing it, and we'll add it to this page.
Semicon: k·p simulations made easy
----------------------------------
**Get the code**: https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/semicon/semicon
A package of tools for doing k·p simulations. Contains: model definitions, material parameters,
and helper functions for generating template Kwant systems.
Generating quasicrystals
------------------------
**Get the code**: https://arxiv.org/src/1510.06035v2/anc/quasicrystal.py
Code for reproducing numerics from the paper "`Aperiodic Weak Topological Superconductors <https://arxiv.org/abs/1510.06035>`_"
by Fulga et al.
Contains functionality for building 2D Ammann-Beenker tilings, an example of a quasicrystal, and
Kwant systems constructed from such tilings.
Time-dependent transport
------------------------
**Get the code**: https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant/tkwant
A package for defining time-dependent systems with Kwant, and calculating
time-dependent quantities. Details of the algorithm can be found in the
following two papers:
+ `Towards realistic time-resolved simulations of quantum devices <https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10825-016-0855-9>`_
+ `Numerical simulations of time resolved quantum electronics <https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physrep.2013.09.001>`_
Qsymm: Symmetry finder and symmetric Hamiltonian generator
----------------------------------------------------------
**Get the code**: https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/qt/qsymm
A package that makes symmetry analysis simple. It automatically generates model Hamiltonians from symmetry constraints and finds the full symmetry group of your Hamiltonian. Works with tight-binging and k dot p Hamiltonians and supports all kinds of symmetries, including conserved quantities, space group symmetries, time reversal, particle-hole and all combinations of these.

The Kwant mailing list has been migrated to a new server that provides a much-improved web interface.
.. TEASER_END
In May 2020, thanks to the friendly people at python.org,
kwant-discuss was migrated to a server running Mailman 3.
The list remains a mailing list (existing subscriptions continue),
but now also offers a modern web interface that is similar to a web forum.
The complete archives were migrated and are now searchable.
Please see the `“community” section </community>`_ of this site for usage information.
The `old address of the list <kwant-discuss@kwant-project.org>`_ remains usable: any messages are simply redirected to the new one.

We have added a `new section to the website </extensions.html>`_
that showcases useful extensions to Kwant that have been made by members of the
community.
.. TEASER_END
While we welcome contributions to the core Kwant package, we realize that
it can be a lot of work to implement something that is both robust enough
and of sufficiently general interest to be added to Kwant directly.
Nevertheless there is a body of existing software that extends Kwant in ways
that could be useful to others in the Kwant community. We hope that providing
a central place for listing these extensions will make them more discoverable
by others.
If you have extended Kwant in some way, please get in touch via the

.. type: text
We are pleased to announce the release of Kwant 1.4, the result of a year and a half of development.
.. TEASER_END
Highlights of the new release:
* Adding magnetic field to systems, even in complicated cases, is now specially supported.
* The KPM module can now calculate conductivities.
* The `Qsymm library <https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/qt/qsymm>`_ for Hamiltonian symmetry analysis has been integrated.
* The handling of system parameters has been improved and optimized.
* Plotting has been improved, most notably through the addition of a routine that plots densities with interpolation.
* Installing Kwant on Windows is now much easier thanks to Conda packages.
All these and other improvements that are detailed in the `what's new in Kwant 1.4 </doc/1/pre/whatsnew/1.4>`_ document. The new version is practically 100% backwards-compatible with scripts written for previous versions of Kwant 1.x.
The following people contributed code to this release:
* Anton Akhmerov
* Paul Clisson
* Christoph Groth
* Thomas Kloss
* Bas Nijholt
* Pablo Pérez Piskunow
* Tómas Örn Rosdahl
* Rafał Skolasiński
* Dániel Varjas
* Joseph Weston

.. title: Release of TKwant 1.0
.. slug: release-of-tkwant-1-0
.. date: 2020-09-08 15:00:00 UTC
.. category: release-announcement
.. type: text
We are pleased to announce the first release of TKwant,
a Kwant extension for time-resolved quantum transport.
.. TEASER_END
A system is defined in TKwant in the same way as in Kwant except that some terms in the Hamiltonian may depend on the time parameter. Any system that can be studied in Kwant can be studied with TKwant as well. Typical problems where TKwant can be used include the propagation of voltage pulses, spectroscopy of interferometers, Floquet topological insulators, time resolved Andreev reflection and more.
An introduction to TKwant can be found in `TKwant paper <https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03132>`_. The software itself and
its tutorials are available on the `TKwant website <https://tkwant.kwant-project.org/>`_.
