+### Install an optimized einsum backend
+
+Many modules in PySCF rely on `numpy.einsum` to perform tensor contractions.
+However, `numpy.einsum` is not efficient due to the lack of parallel execution.
+[TBLIS](https://github.com/devinamatthews/tblis) provides an optimized
+implementation for tensor contractions. It can deliver performance improvements
+of 10x to 100x than `numpy.einsum`.
+
+TBLIS can be used as a drop-in backend for einsum operations. The backend can be
+installed via the `pytblis` package:
+```bash
+pip install pytblis
+```
+Once pytblis is installed, PySCF will automatically detect and use it as the
+backend for einsum operations.
