Hello Anton (or anyone who reads this),
Sorry for waking up this old thread. May I ask why this step is necessary to 
calculate a Hall conductance? I don't immediately see this requirement in the 
Buttiker formula or the code after it. Does it affect the result in general? 
In another kwant code of 6-terminal QHE, this step is not seen. Or is it 
assumed in the kwant function conductance_matrix() ?

Thank you.
