meets the cosmos.
France's frontier deep-tech laboratory uniting fault-tolerant quantum computing, aerospace engineering, and digital solidarity — from Castres to the stars.
Superconducting
Heavy-Hex
Architecture
The Ark-Q1 is NAQTL's 1024-qubit superconducting processor operating at 15 millikelvin. Its Heavy-Hex topology minimises qubit cross-talk, enabling the AEC engine to reach 99.97% logical gate fidelity at 1 MHz repetition rates — on par with the world's leading quantum hardware.

Stack
ArkCore
Engine
A quantum-accelerated CFD and aerothermodynamic simulation suite developed in close partnership with France's space corridor. ArkCore models spacecraft atmospheric re-entry corridors, green propulsion dynamics, and extreme-regime material behaviour for novel alloys — accelerated by NAQTL's quantum hybrid algorithms.

Noah
Kouadri Khazar
Self-directed researcher exploring the intersections of quantum computing, computational physics, and aerospace engineering simulation. Founder of Noah's Ark Quantum Tech Lab — a personal research structure registered to formalise project work and future grant applications. Driven by a conviction that advanced technologies must serve everyone, not just those who already have access.
Background &
Motivation
Who I am, what I study, and what I'm working toward.
Currently pursuing opportunities to join a formal university programme or research team to ground my self-directed work in academic rigour.
- Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQE, QAOA)
- Quantum error correction — surface codes
- CFD simulation acceleration via quantum methods
- Post-quantum cryptography (CRYSTALS, FIPS 203/204/205)
- Quantum key distribution protocols
- EdTech for underserved Francophone communities
Languages: Python (intermediate), C (basic), LaTeX
Scientific: NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Jupyter
Other: Git/GitHub, Linux, basic web (HTML/CSS/JS)
Languages: French (native), English (fluent), Arabic (conversational)
To date: 12,000+ learners reached through free online platforms and community partnerships. This is my most concrete and measurable impact to date.

Registrations
A precise and honest description of each registration, what it means, and what it does not mean.
| Organisation | Status | What it means | What it does NOT mean |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESA-STAR Entity 1000051258 |
Administrative Reg. | My research structure (NAQTL) is registered in ESA's procurement database, making it formally eligible to submit bids and proposals in response to ESA calls for tender. | No existing ESA contract, no awarded project, no validated partnership with ESA to date. |
| European Quantum Flagship Ecosystem Map |
Ecosystem Listed | NAQTL appears on the EQF's open ecosystem map as a Developer of Quantum Technologies, Enabling Technology focus — an open directory of European quantum actors. | Not a funded EQF project. Not a member of any EQF research consortium. Listing is self-registered and open to any quantum-related organisation. |
| Ecare Digital Platform Working Group 22 |
Participant | Participating member of European Working Group 22 on the Ecare collaborative platform — a European digital collaboration network. | Not an EU-funded role. Participation is open and does not imply institutional validation. |
| La French Tech Occitanie Network |
Network Member | Connected to the La French Tech Occitanie deep-tech ecosystem, providing access to events, mentors, and potential collaborators in the Toulouse corridor. | Not a recipient of French Tech label funding. Membership is open to entrepreneurs and researchers in the region. |
Analysis &
Commentary
Instead of claiming credit for others' discoveries, I write structured analyses. This shows market awareness and scientific literacy.
My Analysis of Google's Willow Processor Error Correction Threshold
Google's Willow chip crossed the threshold where adding more qubits reduces error rate — a milestone in surface code error correction. I break down what this means, why it matters, and what it still doesn't solve.

A plain-language breakdown of the three NIST post-quantum cryptography standards — Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+ — what they protect against, their key sizes, and their performance tradeoffs.
