Greetings, I am trying to follow the kwant tutorial but there is a problem when downloading tutorial files, e.g.: http://kwant-project.org/doc/1.0/_downloads/quantum_wire_revisited.py I am working on my own implementations of quantum transport and I want to compare my results with those of kwant. Thanks, -- ________ Benjamín Santos --- {ben}

spin-orbit and ldos
by Jerzy Wrobel 27 Sep '13

Hi All, I have modified quantum_wire_revisited.py by adding new function def plot_ldos(sys, energy): # Compute local dos local_dos = kwant.ldos(sys, energy) kwant.plotter.map(sys, local_dos, num_lead_cells=5) and adding new command plot_ldos(sys, energy=0.5) to the already existing function main(). It works well. However, when I have modified the spin-orbit.py file in the same way, program halts. Some cryptic messages, which ended with ValueError: different number of values and points, are generated. How to resolve this? Thanks in advance, Jerzy

kwant.plotter.map() fails when passed an instance of axes
by Daniyar Nurgaliev 20 Sep '13

Version: kwant.__version__ == '1.0.0' Problem: when kwant.plotter.map() is given the axes to plot on such as kwant.plotter.plot(system, stuff_to_plot, ax = gca()) kwant/plotter.py first sets fig=None in line 1523 and the tries to create colorbar for a None object in line 1536 Possible solution: Either disable colorbar in this case line 1535: if colorbar and fig is not None: Or figure out how to create another axes with colorbar.
