Tobias Hartung

Tobias Hartung is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Northeastern University London, affiliated with the CoMENS Faculty and the Computing and Information Systems department. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from King’s College London (2015) and a Diplom in Mathematics with a Physics minor from TU Dresden (2013). His academic positions prior to Northeastern included roles at King’s College London and the University of Bath.

His research focuses on the intersection of functional analysis, mathematical physics, quantum computing, and algorithm design for high-energy physics simulations. He develops mathematical frameworks to design quantum and classical algorithms for overcoming computational bottlenecks in physics simulations, particularly lattice gauge theory and particle physics. Recent work emphasizes error mitigation in quantum computing, parametric quantum circuit expressivity, and lattice field computations using advanced numerical integration techniques.

Teaching includes courses on discrete structures, algorithms, and quantum computing at Northeastern, the University of Bath, and King’s College London. His courses emphasize algorithmic foundations and mathematical rigor in computer science.

Publications span quantum algorithms for particle track reconstruction, error mitigation strategies, and theoretical advancements in lattice field theory. Current research trends include applying quantum computing to solve problems in high-energy physics, optimizing quantum circuits, and addressing noise limitations in NISQ-era devices.
