The measurement of magnetic field generated by heart activity is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases and failures. Atomic magnetometers are an excellent choice for detecting bio-magnetic fields due to their comparable sensitivity to superconducting quantum interference devices, lower manufacturing costs, and lack of requirement for low temperatures. These magnetometers detect the magnetic field resulting from heart activity by measuring the Zeeman energy splitting and changes in laser light intensity as it passes through an alkali metal vapor cell. To improve the sensitivity of the measurements, this study presents a gradiometer design that utilizes two atomic magnetometers to eliminate environmental magnetic noise. By using a derivative technique, the homogeneous noises in both magnetometer channels are effectively eliminated. The gradiometer is capable of detecting the magnetic field produced by a frog's heart with a sensitivity of 860 fT/√Hz even without magnetic shielding and in the presence of the Earth's field. This gradiometer design can be expanded to include multiple channels for mapping the heart's magnetic field.
