AB - Abstract:We develop Green's function formalism to describe continuous multi-layered quasi-one-dimensional setups described by piece-wise constant single-particle Hamiltonians. The Hamiltonians of the individual layers are assumed to be quadratic polynomials in the momentum operator with matrix-valued (multichannel) coefficients. This, in particular, allows one to study transport in heterostructures consisting of multichannel conducting, superconducting, or insulating components with band structures of arbitrary complexity. We find a general expression for the single-particle Green's function of the combined setup in terms of the bulk (translationally invariant) Green's functions of its constituents. Furthermore, we provide the expression for the global density of states of the combined system and establish the bound state equation in terms of bulk Green's functions. We apply our formalism to investigate the spectrum and current-phase relations in ordinary and topological Josephson junctions, additionally showing how to account for the effects of static disorder and local Coulomb interaction.
