Methodology matters more than rankings.
With Metriq we focused on making the process of cross-platform benchmarking transparent and reproducible, from how benchmarks are run to how results are aggregated and shared.
Benchmarks should start conversations, not end them.

How do you ensure quantum benchmarking happens in the open? Unitary Foundation has released an update to the open-source Metriq platform for collaborative benchmarking of quantum computers. We describe the platform in a new paper, which came out today: scirate.com/arxiv/2603.0...

⚛️ 🎨 What happens when you put 80+ designers and physicists in a room for 6 hours? You get the NYC Quantum Design Hackathon! Huge thanks to our collaborators @harmoniqs, @microsoft.com, @mothquantum.bsky.social, and @jpmorgan. Read more: unitary.foundation/posts/2026_q...
