Abstract
Fermilab's Tevatron accelerator is recently performing at record luminosities that enables a program systematically addressing the physics of top quarks. The CDF and D0 collaborations have analyzed up to 5/fb of proton anti-proton collisions from the Tevatron at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The large datasets available allow to push top quark measurements to higher and higher precision and enabled the recent observation of electroweak single top quark production at the Tevatron. This article reviews recent results on top quark physics at the Tevatron and provides a brief outlook on early top quark measurements at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, scheduled to restart in November 2009.
