We study the loop-induced decays [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with quark flavor violation (QFV), identifying [Formula: see text] with the Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are photon and gluon, respectively. We perform a MSSM parameter scan and a detailed analysis around a fixed reference point respecting theoretical constraints from vacuum stability conditions and experimental constraints, such as those from [Formula: see text]-meson data and electroweak precision data, as well as recent limits on Supersymmetric (SUSY) particle masses from LHC experiments. We find that (i) the relative deviation of the decay width [Formula: see text] from the Standard Model value, [Formula: see text], can be large and negative, [Formula: see text], (ii) the analogous deviation of [Formula: see text] is strongly correlated, [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], (iii) the relative deviation of the width ratio [Formula: see text] from the SM value, [Formula: see text], can be large (up to [Formula: see text]20%), (iv) the deviations can be large due to the up-type squark loop contributions, (v) the SUSY QFV parameters can have a significant effect on these deviations. Such large deviations can be observed at a future [Formula: see text] collider like ILC. Observation of the deviation patterns as shown in this study would favor the MSSM with flavor-violating squark mixings and encourage to perform further studies in this model.
