Quantum at Erste Group
This seminar, organized by XISTA in collaboration with the ISTA Career Development Expert, will be led by Dr. Filippo Fratini (biography below). Designed to raise awareness about both the potential and challenges of quantum technology, the seminar aims to bridge the gap between industry and quantum research. Dr. Fratini will discuss how quantum scientists can build successful careers in banking and how quantum prototypes can be developed to tackle finance-related challenges. He will also explore one of the most critical intersections between banking and quantum technology: post-quantum cryptography.
About the speaker: Dr. Filippo Fratini has had a distinguished career in academia, with expertise spanning physics, mathematics, and economics, before transitioning to the banking sector. He initially worked in risk divisions and has since dedicated himself to applying quantum technologies in finance. Currently, he leads the Quantum Team—known as the QuanTeam—at Erste Bank, where he focuses on quantum education, computation, safety, and communication.
