qubosolver.tensor

qubosolver.Tensor module-attribute

Tensor = Tensorf

Arbitrary-rank float tensor using the globally configured precision (float32 by default).

qubosolver.tensor

Arbitrary-rank tensor utilities for QUBO solvers.

A Tensor here is an arbitrary-rank float tensor using the globally configured dtype (float32 by default, float64 when double precision is enabled). This module provides factory functions for creating and converting such tensors on the globally configured torch device.

Typical usage:

t = tensor.zeros(2, 3)                   # 2x3 zero tensor
t = tensor.tensor([[1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0]])  # from nested list
t = tensor.as_tensor(some_tensor)        # cast existing tensor, no copy when possible

For rank-specific aliases see qubosolver.vector (1-D) and qubosolver.matrix (2-D square).

Functions:

  • as_tensor –

    Convenience wrapper for torch.as_tensor that converts data to a tensor.

  • device –

    Returns the globally configured torch device.

  • dtype –

    Returns the globally configured float dtype.

  • tensor –

    Creates a tensor from the given data.

  • zeros –

    Creates a zero-filled tensor with the given shape.

  • zeros_field –

    Creates a dataclass field defaulting to a zero-filled tensor with the given shape.

as_tensor

as_tensor(data: Any) -> Tensor

Convenience wrapper for torch.as_tensor that converts data to a tensor.

Avoids a copy when possible. If data is already a tensor with the right dtype and on the right device, it is returned as-is, sharing the same underlying memory. A numpy array is also shared rather than copied if it already has the global float dtype and the global device is cpu (numpy arrays only live on CPU, so any other dtype or device forces a copy). Lists, tuples, and other array-like inputs are always copied.

Parameters:

  • data (Any) –

    Input data (tensor, numpy array, list, tuple, etc.).

Returns:

  • Tensor –

    A tensor on the global dtype and device.
