Abstract
This paper proposes a quantum circuit for computing the mean value from a given set of quantum states. The circuit consults a Quantum Random Access Memory to get the values of the set, and by using superposition, interference and entanglement phenomena, it can estimate the mean value in $\mathcal{O}(\frac{1}{\epsilon}\log{Nd})$ complexity. The proposed quantum mean-estimator circuit has been simulated on the IBM Q Experience and the results suggest that the proposed quantum circuit can have the potential to enhance many mean-based machine learning algorithms.
