TensorNetwork backend for QuTiP. about tensornetwork

Hi @AGaliciaMartinez thanks for the message. We added QuOperator a while ago and it hasn't evolved since then. We are not planning to remove it, but at this point there are no plans to develop it further either. Using tensor networks for simulating quantum systems is certainly very interesting, and it would be great if our package can help you with that.

Regarding PR reviews I can certainly do that, but before going down this road it would be useful go gain more clarity about what functionalities you are requiring from us. Based in that we can decide if it makes sense to support this within our package, or if an independent line of development lead by you is the better approach.

What extra functionalities we will require is not clear yet as we are on the early stages of the project and we are figuring out which changes we need to in our side to accommodate a tensor network backed. But example of those could be the conjugation or the addition of two QuOperator's. These are by no means critical to be on your side as our dispatching does not necessarily rely on the native functions of QuOperator, but I thought that I could be nice to add them here should you be interested.

For the moment I opened a PR (#951) to include the __init__.py file so that the quatum module can be imported.
