Basic Example
Here, we build a simple 2 node contraction.
import numpy as np
import tensornetwork as tn
# Create the nodes
a = tn.Node(np.ones((10,)))
b = tn.Node(np.ones((10,)))
edge = a[0] ^ b[0] # Equal to tn.connect(a[0], b[0])
final_node = tn.contract(edge)
print(final_node.tensor) # Should print 10.0
Optimized Contractions.
Usually, it is more computationally effective to flatten parallel edges before contracting them in order to avoid trace edges.
We have contract_between
and contract_parallel
that do this automatically for your convenience.
# Contract all of the edges between a and b
# and create a new node `c`.
c = tn.contract_between(a, b)
# This is the same as above, but much shorter.
c = a @ b
# Contract all of edges that are parallel to edge
# (parallel means connected to the same nodes).
c = tn.contract_parallel(edge)
Split Node
You can split a node by doing a singular value decomposition.
# This will return two nodes and a tensor of the truncation error.
# The two nodes are the unitary matrices multiplied by the square root of the
# singular values.
# The `left_edges` are the edges that will end up on the `u_s` node, and `right_edges`
# will be on the `vh_s` node.
u_s, vh_s, trun_error = tn.split_node(node, left_edges, right_edges)
# If you want the singular values in it's own node, you can use `split_node_full_svd`.
u, s, vh, trun_error = tn.split_node_full_svd(node, left_edges, right_edges)
Node and Edge names.
You can optionally name your nodes/edges. This can be useful for debugging, as all error messages will print the name of the broken edge/node.
node = tn.Node(np.eye(2), name="Identity Matrix")
print("Name of node: {}".format(node.name))
edge = tn.connect(node[0], node[1], name="Trace Edge")
print("Name of the edge: {}".format(edge.name))
# Adding name to a contraction will add the name to the new edge created.
final_result = tn.contract(edge, name="Trace Of Identity")
print("Name of new node after contraction: {}".format(final_result.name))
Named axes.
To make remembering what an axis does easier, you can optionally name a node's axes.
a = tn.Node(np.zeros((2, 2)), axis_names=["alpha", "beta"])
edge = a["beta"] ^ a["alpha"]
Edge reordering.
To assert that your result's axes are in the correct order, you can reorder a node at any time during computation.
a = tn.Node(np.zeros((1, 2, 3)))
e1 = a[0]
e2 = a[1]
e3 = a[2]
a.reorder_edges([e3, e1, e2])
# If you already know the axis values, you can equivalently do
# a.reorder_axes([2, 0, 1])
print(a.tensor.shape) # Should print (3, 1, 2)
NCON interface.
For a more compact specification of a tensor network and its contraction, there is ncon()
. For example:
from tensornetwork import ncon
a = np.ones((2, 2))
b = np.ones((2, 2))
c = ncon([a, b], [(-1, 1), (1, -2)])
print(c)
Different backend support.
Currently, we support JAX, TensorFlow, PyTorch and NumPy as TensorNetwork backends.
We also support tensors with Abelian symmetries via a symmetric
backend, see the reference
documentation for more details.
To change the default global backend, you can do:
tn.set_default_backend("jax") # tensorflow, pytorch, numpy, symmetric
Or, if you only want to change the backend for a single Node
, you can do:
tn.Node(tensor, backend="jax")
If you want to run your contractions on a GPU, we highly recommend using JAX, as it has the closet API to NumPy.
Disclaimer
This library is in alpha and will be going through a lot of breaking changes. While releases will be stable enough for research, we do not recommend using this in any production environment yet.
