Biography

Rafał Pracht is the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of FinQbit, where he leads the development of quantum computing solutions for derivative pricing, market risk, and quantitative finance. With nearly two decades of experience spanning quantitative finance, risk management, financial engineering, and software architecture, he has designed and delivered large-scale pricing and risk platforms for leading financial institutions, including BNP Paribas, Moody’s Analytics, Deloitte, KBC Group, and PZU. Rafał's research focuses on applying quantum computing to financial modeling, particularly in derivative valuation, risk analytics, and quantum-enhanced Monte Carlo methods. He is the author of the Quantum Binomial Tree algorithm, an innovative framework for efficiently encoding stochastic differential equation (SDE) paths on quantum computers, enabling scalable quantum approaches to financial simulation. An IBM Qiskit Advocate and holder of the MIT xPRO Certificate in Applications of Quantum Computing, Rafał combines deep expertise in both quantitative finance and quantum technologies. His work is dedicated to bridging the gap between theoretical quantum algorithms and practical financial applications, helping shape the next generation of computational infrastructure for the financial industry.
