contents Computation is an input-output process, where a program encoding a problem to be solved is inserted into a machine that outputs a solution. Quantum computation conventionally relies on classical, external control outside the quantum computer to execute a program, obscuring computational and thermodynamic resources required. To understand the fundamental limits of computation, however, it is pivotal to work with a fully self-contained description of a quantum computation, modeling the resources on the same footing as the computation itself. By developing a framework that we dub the autonomous Quantum Processing Unit (aQPU) we model quantum computation in the framework of autonomous thermal machines. Consisting of an internal quantum timekeeping mechanism, instruction register and memory system the aQPU allows investigating relationships between thermodynamic cost, complexity, speed and fidelity of a desired quantum computation.
