These high magnetic fields are generated using flux compression[0], in which the incompressibility of magnetic field lines means that compressing the coils generating the magnetic fields will increase the strength of the resultant magnetic field. However, the implosion process permanently destroys the magnet, which makes it highly unsuitable for continuous use and certainly shouldn't be used anywhere near your fusion reactor.
