Macro interface similar to that of other packages.

You may use numbers in place of letters for dummy indices, as in @tensor, and need not name the output array. Thus A = @ein [1,2] := B[1,ξ] * C[ξ,2] is equivalent to the above. This can also be written A = ein"ij,jk -> ik"(B,C) using the numpy-style string macro.

example

julia> a, b = rand(2,2), rand(2,2);

julia> @ein c[i,k] := a[i,j] * b[j,k];

julia> c ≈ a * b
true

julia> c ≈ ein"ij,jk -> ik"(a,b)
true

ein"ij,jk -> ik"(A,B)

String macro interface which understands numpy.einsum's notation. Translates strings into StaticEinCode-structs that can be called to evaluate an einsum. To control evaluation order, use parentheses - instead of an EinCode, a NestedEinsum is returned which evaluates the expression according to parens. The valid character ranges for index-labels are a-z and α-ω.

example

julia> a, b, c = rand(10,10), rand(10,10), rand(10,1);

julia> ein"ij,jk,kl -> il"(a,b,c) ≈ ein"(ij,jk),kl -> il"(a,b,c) ≈ a * b * c

• A tuple of (NetworkSimplifier, newcode), where newcode is a new EinCode object.

slice_code(code, size_dict, slicer) -> sliced_code

Slice the einsum contraction code to reduce the space complexity, returns a SlicedEinsum instance.

Arguments

• code is a NestedEinsum instance.
• size_dict is a dictionary of "edge label=>edge size" that contains the size information, one can use uniformsize(eincode, 2) to create a uniform size.
• slicer is a CodeSlicer instance, currently only TreeSASlicer is supported.

tree_greedy(incidence_list, log2_sizes; α = 0.0, temperature = 0.0)

Compute greedy order, and the time and space complexities, the rows of the incidence_list are vertices and columns are edges. log2_sizes are defined on edges. α is the parameter for the loss function, for pairwise interaction, L = size(out) - α * (size(in1) + size(in2)) temperature is the parameter for sampling, if it is zero, the minimum loss is selected; for non-zero, the loss is selected by the Boltzmann distribution, given by p ~ exp(-loss/temperature).

uniformsize(code::AbstractEinsum, size::Int) -> Dict

Returns a dictionary that maps each label to the given size.

uniquelabels(code::AbstractEinsum) -> Vector{LT}

Returns the unique labels in the einsum notation. The labels are the indices of the tensors.

viz_contraction(code::Union{NestedEinsum, SlicedEinsum}; locs=StressLayout(), framerate=10, filename=tempname() * ".mp4", show_progress=true)

Visualize the contraction process of a tensor network.

Arguments

• code: The tensor network to visualize.

Keyword Arguments

• locs: The coordinates or layout algorithm to use for positioning the nodes in the graph. Default is StressLayout().
• framerate: The frame rate of the animation. Default is 10.
• filename: The name of the output file, with .gif or .mp4 extension. Default is a temporary file with .mp4 extension.
• show_progress: Whether to show progress information. Default is true.

Returns

• the path of the generated file.

viz_eins(code::AbstractEinsum; locs=StressLayout(), filename = nothing, kwargs...)

Visualizes an AbstractEinsum object by creating a tensor network graph and rendering it using GraphViz.

Arguments

• code::AbstractEinsum: The AbstractEinsum object to visualize.

Keyword Arguments

• locs=StressLayout(): The coordinates or layout algorithm to use for positioning the nodes in the graph.
• filename = nothing: The name of the file to save the visualization to. If nothing, the visualization will be displayed on the screen instead of saving to a file.
• config = GraphDisplayConfig(): The configuration for displaying the graph. Please refer to the documentation of GraphDisplayConfig for more information.
• kwargs...: Additional keyword arguments to be passed to the GraphViz constructor.

writejson(filename::AbstractString, ne::Union{NestedEinsum, SlicedEinsum})

Write the contraction order to a JSON file.

Arguments

• filename: the name of the file to write to.
• ne: the contraction order to write. It can be a NestedEinsum or a SlicedEinsum object.
