Carsten Urbach

Carsten Urbach is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Helmholtz Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics, University of Bonn. His research focuses on lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD), quantum computing, and high-performance computing. He holds roles including spokesperson of CRC1639 NuMeriQS and editorial board member of the European Physics Journal A.

• Educations: PhD in Physics (2005), Diplom in Physics (2002), both from Freie Universität Berlin

Research interests span strongly coupled quantum systems, hadron properties, lattice QCD simulations, and algorithm development. Recent work emphasizes Hamiltonian lattice gauge theories, quantum computing applications, and reproducibility in lattice QFT. Key contributions include studies on meson spectroscopy, form factors, and the muon g-2 anomaly using twisted-mass fermions.

Awards include the Mario Markus Prize (2022) and Pineapple Award in Physics (2021). Active in collaborative projects like the International Lattice Data Grid 2.0. Leads the Lattice QCD group at Bonn, advancing computational infrastructure and open science practices.
