contents Partial differential equations (PDEs) are central to modeling physical and engineering systems, but repeatedly solving parametric PDEs remains computationally expensive. Operator learning enables fast surrogate inference, yet typically requires large input-output paired datasets generated by costly high-fidelity PDE solvers. Unsupervised operator learning frameworks alleviate data dependency but remain hindered by computational bottlenecks. To address this, we propose Neural Variational Quantum Linear Solver (NVQLS), the first hybrid quantum-classical operator learning framework leveraging the Legendre--Galerkin weak formulation. We critically resolve the sign ambiguity in VQLS energy minimization, preventing erroneous solution representations. Additionally, we introduce a neural embedding, a novel encoding scheme to map varying forcings and PDE coefficients into parameterized quantum circuit representations. These structural innovations provide theoretical computational complexity advantages under efficient state preparation schemes, while achieving superior accuracy compared to a representative classical baseline. Validations on 1D and 2D parametric PDEs under diverse boundary conditions demonstrate NVQLS's capability to simultaneously process varying inputs, offering a scalable unsupervised approach to quantum-enhanced operator learning.
