▎ 摘  要

In their Comment, Y. Zhou andM. W. Wu claim that the fundamental transport equation relating the current to the transmission function, used by us and in fact by numerous other researchers, is invalid for extended systems and should be corrected. They provide a "correct" new formula for transport in extended systems. This would be indeed a surprising new aspect of quantum transport theory. Here we show mathematically, however, that the "new formula" is a misconception resulting from adding an energy-and momentum-dependent function that has to vanish, due to fundamental reasons. Results and conclusions stemming from adding this function are irrelevant. The known established formulas for quantum transport are consistent with each other under the well-documented conditions.
