qml.math.cast_like¶

cast_like(tensor1, tensor2)[source]¶

Casts a tensor to the same dtype as another.

Parameters

• tensor1 (tensor_like) – tensor to cast

• tensor2 (tensor_like) – tensor with corresponding dtype to cast to

Returns

a tensor with the same shape and values as tensor1 and the same dtype as tensor2

Return type

tensor_like

Example

>>> x = torch.tensor([1, 2])
>>> y = torch.tensor([3., 4.])
>>> cast_like(x, y)
tensor([1., 2.])
