用量子传感器突破噪声极限,实现隐蔽信号的高精度检测与解调。

RAPID Quantum Detection and Demodulation of Covert Communications: Breaking the Noise Limit with Solid-State Spin Sensors

  • 基于氮空位中心设计双阶段混合方案,结合量子费舍尔信息与强化学习优化控制脉冲。
  • 在相关噪声下保持高精度估计,阵列应用中实现类海森堡级定位精度提升。
  • 适合电子战、隐蔽监控等安全敏感场景,兼具理论严谨性与实际可行性。

我们提出一种基于固态自旋传感器的隐蔽电磁信号检测与解调综合框架,命名为RAPID。该方法为两阶段混合策略,利用氮空位(NV)中心在经典噪声极限以下运行,通过模仿与蒸馏实现鲁棒自适应策略。首先将联合检测与估计任务建模为统一的随机最优控制问题,在真实物理约束下优化复合贝叶斯风险目标;随后,先计算基于量子费舍尔信息矩阵(QFIM)的稳健非自适应基线协议,再以此为起点,通过深度强化学习(软演员-评论家算法)在线学习自适应策略。该方法动态优化控制脉冲、探测时间与测量基,以最大化信息增益并主动抑制非马尔可夫噪声与退相干。数值模拟表明,该协议相较静态方法显著提升灵敏度,在关联噪声环境中维持高估计算精度;应用于传感器阵列时,可实现相干量子波束成形,达到类海森堡精度提升。本工作为量子传感器在电子战与隐蔽监视等关键安全领域的部署提供了理论严谨且实用可行的新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We introduce a comprehensive framework for the detection and demodulation of covert electromagnetic signals using solid-state spin sensors. Our approach, named RAPID, is a two-stage hybrid strategy that leverages nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers to operate below the classical noise floor employing a robust adaptive policy via imitation and distillation. We first formulate the joint detection and estimation task as a unified stochastic optimal control problem, optimizing a composite Bayesian risk objective under realistic physical constraints. The RAPID algorithm solves this by first computing a robust, non-adaptive baseline protocol grounded in the quantum Fisher information matrix (QFIM), and then using this baseline to warm-start an online, adaptive policy learned via deep reinforcement learning (Soft Actor-Critic). This method dynamically optimizes control pulses, interrogation times, and measurement bases to maximize information gain while actively suppressing non-Markovian noise and decoherence. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the protocol achieves a significant sensitivity gain over static methods, maintains high estimation precision in correlated noise environments, and, when applied to sensor arrays, enables coherent quantum beamforming that achieves Heisenberg-like scaling in precision. This work establishes a theoretically rigorous and practically viable pathway for deploying quantum sensors in security-critical applications such as electronic warfare and covert surveillance.
