The code is based on the non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) formalism (also known as the Keldysh, or Kadanoff-Baym formalism). This formalism allows to account for both quantum transport effects (i.e. coherent transport effects, such as resonant tunneling), as well as scattering mechanisms. | The code is based on the non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) formalism (also known as the Keldysh, or Kadanoff-Baym formalism).
