    Well I do understand what you say, but does the cooling count in the computing of the computer, with or without the cooling a computer would compute, just way badder, so I would tend to say it’s not counting , although I do understand what you are meaning

      Without cooling, the computer doesn’t work, since it overheats (which would literally destroy it). Doubly so for quantum computers, since the quantum effects are superseded by environmental noise above their operating temperatures.

      To say it differently: every computer part has cooling integrated, like your CPU. If you removed all that it would stop working after a few seconds.
