Description

A follow up to #126, which introduces PartitionedGraph wrapping an ITensorNetwork as a data structure to help with implementing the belief propagation code.

An unfortunate consequence of that design is that functions that work on regular ITensorNetwork may not work on one wrapped in a PartitionedGraph, such as:

  • scalartype

It would be good to assess how to make those functions work in an elegant way. scalartype could maybe work if we made ITensorNetwork iterable over the vertex data, in which case scalartype would iterate over the ITensors of the network.

Research direction

Start by reviewing #126 and the PartitionedGraph and ITensorNetwork designs described there. Investigate how scalartype currently operates on ITensorNetwork and whether wrapping or iteration can support it; done means documenting or implementing an elegant approach that makes scalartype work for PartitionedGraph and clarifies the treatment of similar functions.
