add

metatensor.add(A: TensorMap, B: int | float | TensorMap) → TensorMap

Return a new TensorMap with the values being the sum of A and B.

If B is a TensorMap it has to have the same metadata as A.

If gradients are present in A:

• B is a scalar:

  \[\nabla(A + B) = \nabla A\]

• B is a TensorMap with the same metadata of A:

  \[\nabla(A + B) = \nabla A + \nabla B\]

Parameters:

• A (TensorMap) – First TensorMap for the addition.

• B (int | float | TensorMap) – Second instance for the addition. Parameter can be a scalar or a TensorMap. In the latter case B must have the same metadata of A.

Returns:

New TensorMap with the same metadata as A.

Return type:

TensorMap
