+The entire code to perform this calculation (including making the figure) is reproduced below and is, as one can see, rather small.

+In this example, one can see a quantum wire (gray) to which is attached a superconducting electrode (blue).
+This device has been built in order to give rise to a Majorana bound states close to the superconducting-normal interface.
+The latter can be seen in the spectrum of the device (REF).
