A new tensor of the given shape with every element set to zero.

Same shape-span and `pinned_for` contract as [`empty`](./empty.md#empty) (extents are literals or 0-D integer Tensors).

**Throws**

- `ClikaRT::Error`: when the input's dtype is not served for this operation (the machine-readable reason rides `code_name()`).

**Returns:** a new zero-filled tensor.

```cpp
auto acc = ClikaRT::ops::zeros({b, d}, ClikaRT::DataType::Float32);
```
