This is a refactor meant to improve the performance of the gradient calculation and align the API to the main modules.
Currently, there are two solutions implemented for testing:
gradient.calculate_derivative_of_control_matrix_from_scratch
, which then usesgradient.control_matrix_at_timestep_derivative
. Python loops are mostly avoided in favor of closedeinsum
expressions.gradient.calculate_derivative_of_control_matrix_from_scratch_loop
loops over one time dimension in a Python loop (similar to the calculation of the control matrix), usesgradient.control_matrix_at_timestep_derivative_loop
.Benchmarks indicate that as soon as the dimension



d > 2
, the loop version is faster because theeinsum
expressions become too large:
