Some earlier Q computers used brass or silver instead, and most also use copper parts too. Each plate cools the computer in stages, with temperatures getting lower on the lower parts. These are called heat exchangers and are used together with dilution refrigerators that use liquid helium.
"Many of the components of the computer are coated in gold. Gold reflects heat and keeps heat away from the parts of the computer that need to be near absolute zero to function."
