Description

Some considerations:

  • Maybe use quimb to represent the tensor network? Or maybe just a networkx multigraph.
  • Maybe include an einsum-like API? Let's think about this in a separate PR

There are three types of contractions to consider: physical-physical, physical-logical, and logical-logical. In the case of PL and LL contractions, logical operators can be "inherited" from the original codes that are contracted together. Is inheriting logical operators possible for PP contractions? Is there something similar that makes sense to do in this case?

Research direction

Start with the issue discussion, including the proposed quimb or networkx representations and the three contraction types. Clarify the scope and the intended treatment of inherited logical operators, especially for physical-physical contractions; no files or tests are named, and completion criteria are not yet defined.
