Variational quantum algorithms (VQA) can obtain an approximation ground state of the target Hamiltonian. Methods based on VQA for calculating excited states currently involve high-depth unitary implementation or specific previously-found ground states. To directly extend the VQA framework to excited states, we propose an algorithm based on the purification of weighted ensemble states. This algorithm uses the Gross-Oliveira-Kohn (GOK) variational principle and chooses the appropriate set of weights to construct a BCS-like state; the exponential form of the BCS-like state allows efficient implementation on near-term quantum devices. Combined with variational quantum circuits, we can obtain all excited states we want.
