contents Entropy measures quantify the amount of information and correlation present in a quantum system. In practice, when the quantum state is unknown and only copies thereof are available, one must resort to the estimation of such entropy measures. Here we propose a variational quantum algorithm for estimating the von Neumann and Rényi entropies, as well as the measured relative entropy and measured Rényi relative entropy. Our approach first parameterizes a variational formula for the measure of interest by a quantum circuit and a classical neural network, and then optimizes the resulting objective over parameter space. Numerical simulations of our quantum algorithm are provided, using a noiseless quantum simulator. The algorithm provides accurate estimates of the various entropy measures for the examples tested, which renders it as a promising approach for usage in downstream tasks.
