Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be nice to be able to easily convert an OpSum term to a ITensor. This would allow to easily make a list of gates for TEBD out of an OpSum.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to be able to do something like :

op(O[i])

where O is an OpSum.

Research direction

Start by locating the Julia definitions for OpSum and the op entry point, then trace how OpSum terms are represented and converted to ITensor objects. Done means an individual term can be passed through the requested op(O[i]) interface to produce an ITensor suitable for building a TEBD gate list.
