Abstract: A flex ion trap interconnect for a quantum computing system is provided. The flex ion trap interconnect may be configured for operation in the temperature and pressure required by a vacuum chamber. The flex ion trap interconnect may include two or more connectors, which may be located at an end or middle of a flex ion trap interconnect and configured to connect to an ion trap of a quantum computing system to transmit electrical signals to and from the ion trap.

Abstract: A system may include a magnetic sensor including a free magnetic layer and a fixed magnetic layer; a sample container disposed over the magnetic stack; a plurality of capture DNA oligomers on a surface of the magnetic biosensor within the volume defined by the sample container above the magnetic stack, wherein each of the plurality of capture DNA oligomers includes at least one thymine base configured to bind to an Hg2+ ion; a magnetic field generator configured to generate a magnetic field that influences the free layer; and circuitry configured to measure a resistance of the magnetic sensor.
