Is the word quantificar the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "quantificar" is identical in meaning, grammar, spelling, and typical usage in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels tend to be "reduced" or shortened; for instance, the "i" in the middle of the word is much more subtle or nearly silent, making the word sound more like "quantific'r."
