  1. Provided the default permanent evaluation from core.path.Matrix as a backend PermanentBackend:
  • allows to calculate: probabilities, amplitudes, a density matrix
  • only allowed for pure LO circuits
  • see docs/notebooks/bose_hubbard.ipynb for an example
  1. Refactored and extended the PercevalBackend:
  • the extension allows for calculation of amplitudes, probabilities and density matrices using a chosen perceval backend (e.g. SLOS, NaiveBackend)
  • only working for diagrams which are states (if a diagram has "open" inputs, an external perceval state needs to be specified)
  • the backend calculates a single prob/amp when provided with a closed diagram (dom/cod == 0)
  1. Fixed evaluating sums of diagrams with the perceval backend.
  2. Fixed some import issues from optyx import ... -> from optyx.core.channel import ... used in optyx.core.zw/zx.
