I compare here energies of particle in 1D box vs what would came out from tight-binding simulation. Example is very simple but it captures situation that happens often when calculating spectrum of a finite system: for different system size we get different amount of energy levels. That simple example is manageable without any pandas or xarray machinery but imagine real simulation made with [kwant](https://kwant-project.org/) for series of different input parameters (system dimensions, gate voltages, chemical potentials, etc...)","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,207283854 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1265#issuecomment-279514589,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/1265,279514589,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDI3OTUxNDU4OQ==,10928117,2017-02-13T20:37:48Z,2017-02-13T20:37:48Z,NONE,I believe that this is a common problem in simulation of quantum mechanical problems.
