YaoToEinsum

Convert Yao circuit to tensor networks (einsum).

Installation

YaoToEinsum is a Julia language package. To install YaoToEinsum, please open Julia's interactive session (known as REPL) and press ] key in the REPL to use the package mode, then type the following command

pkg> add YaoToEinsum

Using

This package contains one main function yao2einsum(circuit; initial_state=Dict(), final_state=Dict(), optimizer=TreeSA()). It transform a Yao circuit to a generalized tensor network (einsum notation). The return value is a TensorNetwork object.

• initial_state and final_state are for specifying the initial state and final state. If any of them is not specified, the function will return a tensor network with open legs.
• optimizer is for optimizing the YaoToEinsum.contraction order of the tensor network. The default value is TreeSA(). Please check the README of OMEinsumYaoToEinsum.contractors.jl for more information.
