14-year-old deep-tech founder. Quantum propulsion engineer. University of Texas student. Building the energy breakthrough of tomorrow — today, from Castres, France.
A Prodigy With a Mission to Transform Energy
"My conviction is that energy technology requires a radical breakthrough — and I intend to be the one who delivers it."
— Noah Kouadri-Khazar · SCAIRA Interview, April 2026My name is Noah Kouadri-Khazar. I am 14 years old and I live in Castres, in the Tarn department of France, where I study at Collège Jean Monnet. Despite my young age, I am currently in my second year at the University of Texas in a Technology programme delivered entirely online.
I grew up in a family deeply connected to innovation: my father is an engineer in the automotive sector and my mother is a specialist in new technologies. This environment sparked my interest in science, engineering and entrepreneurship from a very early age — naturally leading me to launch Noah ArCore, my quantum propulsion engine project.
I discovered the SCAIRA programme through LinkedIn. What immediately caught my attention was its focus on deep-tech and disruptive innovation. I saw in SCAIRA the ideal environment to structure my project, access specialised mentoring, and connect with a network of investors and innovators across Europe.

A Family of Complementary Visionaries
Noah ArCore is built by three siblings — combining deep-tech, artificial intelligence, and ecodesign within a coherent industrial vision of a cleaner energy future.
Noah Kouadri-Khazar
Overall vision, technical direction, and strategic development of the quantum propulsion engine. Year 2, University of Texas (online). Enveloppe Soleau holder.
Adam Kouadri
Artificial Intelligence specialist. Oversees AI integration and data modelling — contributing advanced machine learning approaches to optimise the propulsion system architecture.
Sarah Kouadri
Designer and environmental activist. Leads visual identity, UX design, and ensures ecological alignment — sustainability is a central pillar of Noah ArCore's mission, not an afterthought.
Milestones That Define the Path
Enrolled at University of Texas (Online)
Started a Technology programme at UT Texas entirely online, concurrent with Collège Jean Monnet in Castres, France. Noah becomes one of the youngest international students in the programme.
Noah's Ark Quantum Tech Lab Founded · March 2025
The laboratory is officially established. Noah takes the role of Director, specialising in aerothermodynamics and quantum systems. Research programme launches across quantum energy, atmospheric entry, and quantum-secured networks.
Noah ArCore — Proof of Concept Validated
Main technical architecture of the quantum propulsion engine validated at proof-of-concept level. Dedicated web platform developed to present and document the project publicly.
Enveloppe Soleau Filed — IP Protection Secured
Officially registered an Enveloppe Soleau through INPI to establish the date of the core invention. A legally recognised first step in French IP protection. Full patent application in preparation.
Selected — SCAIRA 3rd Call · Interreg Sudoe
Noah ArCore selected in the third and most competitive call of the SCAIRA European deep-tech acceleration programme. Access to mentoring, investors, IP strategy advice, and the EU deep-tech ecosystem.
MVP → Industrial Prototype
Target: granted patent, active industrial research collaborations, and a first operational industrial prototype making a concrete contribution to the global energy transition.
A Quantum Propulsion Engine That Could Redefine Energy
Noah ArCore is an industrial deep-tech project focused on the development of a quantum propulsion engine — a disruptive energy technology with the potential to revolutionise the way we generate and use energy.
The problem we address is fundamental: current energy technologies are polluting, inefficient, or dependent on limited resources. Noah ArCore proposes a breakthrough approach: harnessing quantum-level phenomena to create a propulsion and energy generation system that is radically more efficient and sustainable.
The project combines three disciplines: quantum propulsion engineering (led by Noah), AI-based modelling (led by Adam Kouadri), and ecodesign (led by Sarah Kouadri) — within a coherent industrial vision.
"A recognised deep-tech start-up with a granted patent, active industrial research collaborations, and a first operational industrial prototype — making a concrete contribution to the global energy transition."
Vision — 5 YearsWho Noah ArCore Serves
Aerospace & Advanced Mobility
Zero-emission propulsion for next-generation aerospace applications.
Clean Energy Industry
Sustainable energy generation beyond incremental improvement.
Defence & Space Exploration
Next-generation propulsion where conventional systems fail.
Industrial Applications
Compact, powerful, sustainable energy for industrial processes.
"Energy technology requires a radical breakthrough. I am convinced that quantum propulsion will provide exactly that — and I intend to be the one who delivers it."— Noah Kouadri-Khazar · SCAIRA Interview, April 2026
A Future Powered by Quantum Energy
Noah Kouadri-Khazar believes that the most urgent work of our generation is to break free from the energy systems that are suffocating our planet — not by optimising them, but by replacing them with something fundamentally better.
His vision is anchored in the belief that quantum physics is not merely a field of academic study — it is the next industrial revolution waiting to be unlocked. And he intends to be one of the people who unlocks it.
From proof-of-concept to industrial prototype, the path is clear. The mission beyond that is simpler to state, if harder to achieve: prove that quantum propulsion can replace fossil and nuclear energy in the applications where it matters most.
Think in Breakthroughs, Not Improvements
Incremental progress has its place — but energy transformation requires a different order of thinking. Noah commits to pursuing solutions that change the game entirely.
Build with Integrity from Day One
Intellectual honesty, transparent methodology, and rigorous IP protection are not bureaucratic obligations — they are the foundation of every credible scientific venture.
The Planet is the Real Stakeholder
Every design decision in Noah ArCore is evaluated against a single non-negotiable criterion: is it sustainable? Ecology is not a constraint — it is the brief.
The Principles Behind the Innovation
At 14, Noah already thinks with the clarity of someone who has decided what kind of scientist, entrepreneur, and human being he wants to be.
Every expert in a field carries accumulated assumptions. Starting young means starting without the mental barriers that come from "knowing" how things work. The most radical breakthroughs in science have often come from people who didn't yet know what was supposed to be impossible.
Running a deep-tech startup while studying at an American university online and attending French middle school requires one thing above all: discipline. Not inspiration. Not talent. Showing up every single day and doing the work — that is what separates vision from results.
Noah ArCore is a family project. That choice was not accidental — it reflects a belief that trust, shared values, and complementary skills are the foundations of any great team. Adam's AI expertise and Sarah's ecological design sensibility don't just add capability — they shape the soul of the project.
Filing the Enveloppe Soleau before making Noah ArCore public was not bureaucratic caution — it was a fundamental lesson in how innovation works. Ideas without protection are gifts to those with more resources. Do the legal groundwork first.
The energy crisis is not a tragedy — it is the most important invitation of our generation to invent something better. Noah approaches every challenge with the same attitude: this is a problem worth solving, and I am capable of contributing to that solution.
