Parameters:

• L (int) – The number of phyiscal sites. Shoule be a power of 2.

• uni (array or sequence of arrays of shape (d, d, d, d).) – The unitary operator(s). These will be cycled over and placed from bottom left to top right in diagram above.

• iso (array or sequence of arrays of shape (d, d, d)) – The isometry operator(s). These will be cycled over and placed from bottom left to top right in diagram above.

• phys_dim (int, optional) – The dimension of the local hilbert space.

• dangle (bool, optional) – Whether to leave a dangling index on the final isometry, in order to maintain perfect scale invariance, else join the final unitaries just with an indentity.
