Metatensor is a self-describing sparse tensor data format for atomistic machine learning and beyond; storing values and gradients of these values together. Think numpy ndarray or pytorch Tensor equipped with extra metadata for atomic systems and other point clouds data. The core of this library is written in Rust and we provide API for C, C++, and Python.

The main class of metatensor is the TensorMap data structure, defining a custom block-sparse data format. If you are using metatensor from Python, we additionally provide a collection of mathematical, logical and other utility operations to make working with TensorMaps more convenient.
