What is this qemu-system-aarch64 process and why is it using almost 3 GB of RAM on my M1 Mac

I am on my M1 Mac mini(Big Sur 11.3.1) and got a message that I am running out of RAM and should close some apps. I saw this process called qemu-system-aarch64 that takes up to 3GB of RAM. I don't know what it does and cannot stop it either. What is it and why does it eat up so much RAM?
