Interacting quantum systems are attracting increasing interest for developing precise metrology. In particular, the realisation that quantum-correlated states and the dynamics of interacting systems can lead to entirely new and unexpected phenomena have initiated an intense research effort to explore interaction-based metrology both theoretically and experimentally. However, the current framework of interaction-based metrology mainly focuses on single-parameter estimations, a demonstration of multiparameter metrology using interactions as a resource was heretofore lacking. Here we demonstrate an interaction-based multiparameter metrology with strongly interacting nuclear spins. We show that the interacting spins become intrinsically sensitive to all components of a multidimensional field when their interactions are significantly larger than their Larmor frequencies. Using liquid-state molecules containing strongly interacting nuclear spins, we demonstrate the proof-of-principle estimation of all three components of an unknown magnetic field and inertial rotation. In contrast to existing approaches, the present interaction-based multiparameter sensing does not require external reference fields and opens a path to develop an entirely new class of multiparameter quantum sensors.
