One of the most common applications of Kwant is to calculate the conductance of
-a nonoelectronic system. The plot on the left shows the conductance through a
+a nanoelectronic system. The plot on the left shows the conductance through a
2-d electron gas as a function of magnetic flux. The quantization of
conductance that is visible (plateaus) is the hallmark of the quantum Hall
-effect. The third plateau around 1 / Φ = 40 does not develop due to a
-constriction in the system that leads to backscattering. The situation at this
