Module: openfermion.ops

This module should contain objects that describe the algebra of various

operators and representations which can be thought of as abstract instances that serve as storage of the operators. The abstract instance objects derive from the PolynomialTensor. Here we differentiate between generic storage objects and particular instantiations.
