v1.8.2

Enhancements:

• TNOptimizer can now accept an arbitrary pytree (nested combination of dicts, lists, tuples, etc. with TensorNetwork, Tensor or raw array_like objects as the leaves) as the target object to optimize.
• TNOptimizer can now directly optimize Circuit objects, returning a new optimized circuit with updated parameters.
• Circuit: add .copy(), .get_params() and .set_params() interface methods.
• Update generic TN optimizer docs.
• add tn.gen_inds_loops for generating all loops of indices in a TN.
• add tn.gen_inds_connected for generating all connected sets of indices in a TN.
• make SVD fallback error catching more generic (by @mlxd in #238)
• fix some windows + numba CI issues.
• approx_spectral_function add plotting and tracking
• add dispatching to various tensor primitives to allow overriding

New Contributors

• @mlxd made their first contribution in #238
