Hi,

I am not sure if kwant can really compute supercurrent in JJ. I think kwant
superconducting simulation does not compute pairing potentials
self-consistently. As such, the current continuity condition is not
guaranteed and the current is not accurate.  I would suggest that you first
plot current as a function of position (in 1D or 2D or whatever geometry
you are considering) to see if the continuity condition is satisfied.


Best,

Amrit
