In this chapter, we review the growing field of research aiming to represent quantum states with machine learning models, known as neural quantum states. We introduce the key ideas and methods and review results about the capacity of such representations. We discuss in details many applications of neural quantum states, including but not limited to finding the ground state of a quantum system, solving its time evolution equation, quantum tomography, open quantum system dynamics and steady-state solution, and quantum chemistry. Finally, we discuss the challenges to be solved to fully unleash the potential of neural quantum states.
