Option pricing with Quadratic Rough Heston Model

Abstract: In this thesis, we study the quadratic rough Heston model and the corresponding simulation methods. We calibrate the model using real-world market data. We compare and implement the three commonly used schemes (Hybrid, Multifactor, and Multifactor hybrid). We calibrate the model using real-world market SPX data. To speed up calibration, we apply quasi-Monte Carlo methods. We study the effect of the various calibration parameters on the volatility smile.
