Abstract
Quantum computing (QC) has recently seen significant developments, and its market is expected to reach $125 billion by 2030 [1]. In today's rapidly evolving world with vast and complex data, QC technology is increasingly becoming essential [2]. Despite its widespread applications in sectors such as financial services or life sciences, a noticeable gap exists in educational offerings tailored for a business audience. The integration of this critical subject into the business programs of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) remains an underexplored area, demanding more attention. We adopt a structured literature review approach to provide an overview of existing and potential applications of QC in selected business fields. We also explore existing educational offerings of QC for business students. Based on a small-scale survey conducted at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland FHNW, we provide preliminary insights into the interests of business students in the topic of QC. Finally, we provide recommendations for HEIs regarding teaching QC to business students. Our findings and recommendations serve as valuable guidelines for educators in HEIs seeking to integrate QC into their business programs.
