At NAQTL, quantum research is not an end in itself — it is a lever for solving problems that classical computing cannot address at scale. Our programme covers three main axes: optimisation of complex systems (supply chains, energy grids, resource distribution), quantum simulation of molecular and climatic dynamics, and the security of critical infrastructures through post-quantum cryptography.

Key Technical Focus Areas

Our research is validated within the European Quantum Flagship framework and is aligned with the EU Quantum Manifesto 2.0 strategic roadmap. NAQTL holds active membership in the Flagship community since 2025.

NAQTL's AI division, led by Adam Kouadri, develops proprietary models at the intersection of machine learning and quantum-enhanced computation. The core focus is energy efficiency intelligence: predictive models that optimise consumption in aerospace systems, urban infrastructure, and industrial environments.

Core Deliverables

In parallel, this division spun out the Smart Waste & Recycling AI project — a commercial application of NAQTL's modelling capabilities targeting the circular economy, currently in accelerator selection at Station F (Fighters S26 programme).

NAQTL was born from a solidarity imperative. The laboratory is the research engine of Noah's Ark Technology Digital Solidarity — a structure whose mission is to ensure that the benefits of quantum and AI technologies reach communities that conventional tech ecosystems overlook.

Institutional Connections

Focus areas include democratising access to digital education through quantum-powered tools, developing telehealth infrastructure for underserved regions, and designing policy frameworks that place technology at the service of global equity. NAQTL is connected to SNESC, an NGO holding ECOSOC consultative status at the United Nations.

Led by Sarah Kouadri, NAQTL's ecodesign pillar integrates environmental thinking from the earliest stages of every research project. This is not a compliance exercise — it is a design constraint that shapes architecture decisions, material selection, and operational models.

Methodologies Applied

The ecodesign pillar is a key reason NAQTL was selected as a SCAIRA laureate by Aerospace Valley and the Interreg Sudoe programme — which prioritises cross-border innovation with demonstrable environmental impact across France, Spain, and Portugal.

The ArkCore Engine is NAQTL's flagship research programme — a propulsion concept operating at the boundary between quantum field theory and aerospace engineering. The core hypothesis is that structured Casimir cavities, when coupled with quantum thermodynamic cycles, can produce measurable thrust without expelling reaction mass.

Technical Parameters

The project holds USPTO provisional patent status (Docket NK2-NAQTL-2026-001-PROV) and INPI IP protection in France. It was selected as a SCAIRA laureate (Aerospace Valley / Interreg Sudoe, 3rd Call 2026) — the programme's most competitive aerospace innovation track.

ALICE (Adaptive Lattice Intelligence for Coherence Engineering) v2.7 is NAQTL's quantum error correction system designed for the extreme electromagnetic and thermal environment of hypersonic atmospheric re-entry. Classical decoherence approaches fail above Mach 12 — ALICE addresses this through AI-driven syndrome detection and real-time lattice correction.

Performance Targets

ALICE builds on the ARCH (Adaptive Reconfigurable Coherence Handler) protocol — a proprietary QEC lattice architecture developed at NAQTL. The system is designed to be integrated into ARK-SPACE satellite and re-entry vehicle programmes.

Noah Nexus is a full-stack aerospace intelligence platform delivering quantum-enhanced predictive analytics for commercial aviation fleet management. The initial deployment targets A350 fleet operations, providing real-time fuel optimisation, predictive maintenance scheduling, and atmospheric CO₂ tracking.

Platform Metrics

The QADA (Quantum Accelerated Decision Architecture) Engine at its core achieves a ×340 speedup versus classical baseline on fleet-wide optimisation tasks. CO₂ monitoring is integrated via the CNES IASI satellite instrument — providing real-time atmospheric validation of fuel burn models.

Project Alchemist addresses one of aerospace's hardest material science challenges: engineering systems that must operate reliably across temperature regimes separated by over 3,000°C. The same material platform must withstand plasma re-entry conditions and support qubit coherence at millikelvin temperatures.

Extreme Regime Engineering

Simulation results show 99.8% correlation with Orion Artemis II flight data — providing exceptional external validation of NAQTL's materials modelling methodology. The platform uses a proprietary quantum molecular dynamics pipeline to predict material behaviour at both extremes simultaneously.

Theoria Gaia 00 is NAQTL's long-horizon theoretical research programme — an attempt to construct a unified framework for understanding gravitation not merely as a physical force, but as an organising principle that operates across scales: from Earth's geodynamo to galactic field interactions.

Theoretical Pillars

The central hypothesis: Earth, like any complex system, obeys gravitational dynamics across multiple scales — from the Earth's core to interactions with the galactic field. Understanding these dynamics means understanding how living, technological, and geophysical systems co-evolve. This framework underpins the long-term vision for NAQTL's space propulsion research.

Noah Kouadri Khazar is the founder and director of Noah's Ark Quantum Tech Lab.

Beyond NAQTL, Adam founded and leads the Smart Waste & Recycling AI venture — an AI-driven solution for urban waste management currently raising a €1.2M seed round at a €4M pre-money valuation. The project is in selection for Station F's Fighters S26 accelerator programme.

Sarah Kouadri is NAQTL's ecodesign and lifecycle engineering lead. Her work ensures that every research project, product, and partnership at the lab is evaluated through a rigorous sustainability lens — from initial concept through operational phase and end-of-life.

Expertise Areas

Sarah's contribution was instrumental in NAQTL's SCAIRA selection — the programme specifically evaluates the environmental dimension of proposed innovations. Her lifecycle assessment methodology is applied across all active NAQTL projects, including the ArkCore Engine and Smart Waste AI.
