This thesis describes the development of a new type of cardiomagnetometer, a device that can measure the magnetic field generated by the beating human heart. Such exceedingly weak magnetic fields carry diagnostically relevant information and can be measured noninvasively at the surface of the body. Cardiomagnetic measurements were previously performed using superconducting magnetometers (SQUID)...
