# Swan

**Swan** (**S**elf-consistent **wan**nier-function-based quantum transport solver) is an open-source C++ software suitable for large-scale atomistic simulations of electronic structures and transport properties in nano-devices.
**Swan** (**S**elf-consistent **wan**nier-function-based quantum transport solver) is an open-source C++ software suitable for large-scale atomistic simulations of electronic structures and transport properties for nano-devices. (Also shown on my personal website at https://wushidonguc.github.io/swan/)
By using a Wannier function basis (as implemented in the [Wannier90](http://wannier.org) package) to accurately describe the electronic bands, our code is able to efficiently model device structures with first-principles accuracy at a minimal cost of tight-binding calculations.
It couples the Keldysh non-equilibrium Green's function formalism and Poisson solver to generate the inhomogeneous charge densities self-consistently with the electrostatic potential profile for the simulated device region. The parallel implementation of the code uses the standard Message Passing Interface (MPI).
