We introduce an quantum entropy for bimodule quantum channels on finite von Neumann algebras, generalizing the remarkable Pimsner-Popa entropy. The relative entropy for Fourier multipliers of bimodule quantum channels establishes an upper bound of the quantum entropy. Additionally, we present the Araki relative entropy for bimodule quantum channels, revealing its equivalence to the relative entropy for Fourier multipliers and demonstrating its left/right monotonicities and convexity. Notably, the quantum entropy attains its maximum if there is a downward Jones basic construction. By considering Rényi entropy for Fourier multipliers, we find a continuous bridge between the logarithm of the Pimsner-Popa index and the Pimsner-Popa entropy. As a consequence, the Rényi entropy at 1/2 serves a criterion for the existence of a downward Jones basic construction.
