Hi again, ..In my previous message, I was referring to the case of 1d. the unit is (1/a). In 2 and 3 dimensions it will be (1/V), where V is the unit volume. Adel On Mon, Oct 22, 2018 at 9:40 AM Marc Vila wrote: > Dear Kwant developers, > > > I've found in other threads in the mailing lis

Dear Marc, There is no problem in a density of probability being larger than one. In fact, this doesn’t prevent it from being normalizable. Example: the probability of the transmission T in random cavities P(T)=1/(2 sqrt(T)) for T in [0, 1]. This function is normalizable despite the fact that it d

Dear Kwant developers, I've found in other threads in the mailing list that the units of current is for example (unit of charge)/(hbar/unit of energy) (https://www.mail-archive.com/kwant-discuss@kwant-project.org/msg01100.html). Also, the local density of states has units of energy/volume (ht
