Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): Universities of Applied Sciences are facing a massive challenge in the development of ICT education. There is currently no aggregated teaching material, based on quantum computation, for higher education in the technologies of the future. Companies also need more information on developments in the sector and, in particular, on application areas, for which this calculation could be used. The area lacks information, expertise and development networks related to the prediction and opportunities of quantum computing. In particular, the development of easily accessible quantum computing services (Quantum Computing-as-a-Service) has intensified significantly in 2019 and 2020. Quantum computing services are estimated to be technology to be introduced for different industries over the next few years (optimistic estimate 2-3 years). In order to solve this challenge, a study should be launched, focusing on quantum computing services (‘Quantum Computing-as-a-Service’) and the applications they enable, and to create teaching and training materials at Bachelor’s level for both polytechnic and business use. Quantum computing services based on quantum computers are a new, emerging technology for future computing. When operating quantum machines will be able to achieve massive computing power compared to traditional solutions: for example, Google announced in autumn 2019 that its quantum computer had completed a computation operation in 200 seconds, which would have taken 10 000 years for the best supercomputer (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03213-z). The difference between traditional and quantum computers proposed by Google is 1.5 billion times higher. (More critical estimates (e.g. IBM) estimate the difference to be significantly lower, 2.5 days instead of 10,000 years, but the difference is still seen to be 3000-fold). The generalisation of quantum computing presumably affects a wide range of application areas and, consequently, all the fields of education and [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
