摘要

Efficient and precise measurement of electromagnetic signals is crucial for both fundamental science and practical applications. Demodulation is a widely used technique for receiving and recovering modulated signals. Here we show a quantum demodulator using two heteronuclear ions to simultaneously detect the amplitudes and frequencies of unknown periodic signals, overcoming the constraint of double-parameter optimization. With reinforcement learning, the quantum Fisher information scales as t4 for frequency estimation and as t2 for amplitude estimation, achieving inverse-quartic and inverse-quadratic temporal scaling, respectively. This work demonstrates the potential of heteronuclear ions in efficient quantum sensing and highlights the role of reinforcement learning in advancing quantum control.
