get_interface(tensor)[source]¶

Returns the name of the package that any array/tensor manipulations will dispatch to. The returned strings correspond to those used for PennyLane interfaces.

Parameters: tensor (tensor_like) – tensor input
Returns: name of the interface
Return type: str

Example

>>> x = torch.tensor([1., 2.])
>>> get_interface(x)
'torch'
>>> from pennylane import numpy as np
>>> x = np.array([4, 5], requires_grad=True)
>>> get_interface(x)
