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 
(https://www.mail-archive.com/kwant-discuss@kwant-project.org/msg00169.html?).


My question is, what is the units of the output of the density operator? Is it 
energy/volume as well? I ask this because intuitively I view it as the square 
of the wavefunction, but it gives me values larger than 1 for each site when 
there is only 1 mode involved (see attached picture) ?so it is not just the 
probability of findinge the electron at that site because this should be 
maximum 1. I have also noticed that the values I get in the colorbar depend on 
the value of my hopping (e.g. case of graphene), but overall I'm not so sure of 
the units.


Thank you again for your help.


Kind regards,


Marc
