The argon is held pressurized between the neodymium and the quartz, which are formed into flat disc shapes and held together by an aluminum ring. The whole package is cased in a titanium wrapper of sorts, thin but durable with holes in the appropriate places for valves and flanges and contact leads, etc., needed to maintain gas pressure and also to allow the computer to monitor changes in the quantum state. | The argon is held pressurized between the neodymium and the quartz, which are formed into flat disc shapes and held together by an aluminum ring.
