This PR acts specially in
arrayfortorchbackend. It avoids unnecessary conversions tonumpy.Additionally,
dtypehas been added tofrom_numpytocastwhen required. It needs to be extended to the other backends for compatibility, but it will play a role whenscipyis used withtorchortensorflow(to ensure precision is kept).einsumis also simplified. @ninamiolane the tests are not failing with this simplification, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something (I was not able to understand whyeinsumhad such a complex wrapper). If you have an example that justifies the wrapper, please let me know so I revert the changes there.It closes #1537 and starts paving the path to better performance in GPU.
