title: "Unitary Fund launches Metriq"

Unitary Fund is proud to announce a new open source software tool for the quantum computing community, at [https://metriq.info](https://metriq.info)!

Metriq’s mission is to make transparent, accessible benchmarks available to everyone in the quantum computing community.

With the growth of quantum computing in academia and industry, it can be hard to keep track of the many new developments. Metriq helps with this. Any user can (1) make [submissions](https://metriq.info) that show performance of [methods](https://metriq.info/Methods) against [tasks](https://metriq.info/Tasks) and/or (2) define new tasks that results can be submitted against. For example see historical results for [quantum volume](https://metriq.info/Task/34), a task commonly used to benchmark hardware performance.

Check out this overview for a quick tour of Metriq:

The tasks in Metriq span different [categories](https://metriq.info/Tasks) from applications and hardware to compilers, simulators and error mitigation/correction.

We believe it is important both to have new results as well as new tasks, because, in a space as new as quantum computing, we can’t be sure what the most useful benchmarks will be yet. This is why we have adopted a wiki-like approach, where users can submit, edit, and discuss the presented results.

Metriq already includes more than 150 submissions across quantum computing applications, compilers, hardware, simulators and more. Submissions are from researchers and developers across the quantum computing community. Results include sources and are openly accessible for free.

**Metriq organizes benchmark information transparently, by and for the community.**

This short video gives a walkthrough of how to make your own submission to Metriq:
