contents Optical super-resolution has been widely employed to beat spatial diffraction limit, which is often stated by Abbe-Rayleigh criterion. Analogously, we propose a frequency super-resolution method, which beats conventional spectral resolution limit often approximated by full width half maximum of the spectral peak, Γ. This method utilizes recently developed quantum environment engineering technique. With numerical simulations and experiments, we demonstrate the frequency super-resolution method in a three-nuclear-spin system (Trifluoroiodoethylene), by successfully decomposing a thermal state spectrum of the spin F3 into four peaks of engineered pseudo-pure states of the quantum environment. The ultimate frequency resolution reaches {\sim} 0.005 Γ. This method is potentially useful in spectral decomposition of weakly coupled nuclear spin systems and might be improved further to acquire finer frequency super-resolution by employing more advanced quantum techniques..
