Description: [MPNUM]
        
        
        A matrix product representation library for Python
        
        mpnum is a flexible, user-friendly, and expandable toolbox for the
        matrix product state/tensor train tensor format. mpnum provides:
        
        -   support for well-known matrix product representations, such as:
        -   matrix product states (MPS), also known as tensor trains (TT)
        -   matrix product operators (MPO)
        -   local purification matrix product states (PMPS)
        -   arbitrary matrix product arrays (MPA)
        -   arithmetic operations: addition, multiplication, contraction etc.
        -   compression, canonical forms, etc.
        -   finding extremal eigenvalues and eigenvectors of MPOs (DMRG)
        -   flexible tools for new matrix product algorithms
        
        To install the latest stable version run
        
            pip install mpnum
        
        If you want to install mpnum from source, please run (on Unix)
        
            git clone https://github.com/dseuss/mpnum.git
            cd mpnum
            pip install .
        
        In order to run the tests and build the documentation, you have to
        install the development dependencies via
