ABSTRACT In the rapidly evolving field of quantum technology, the precise and detailed description of quantum components is not just a necessity but the foundation for advancing research, development, and applications. Optically accessible quantum memories are key building blocks for devices such as quantum repeaters and two‐factor authentication. The memory we describe here is based on a Group‐IV‐vacancy color center () coupled to a highly efficient cavity. It leverages state‐dependent reflection from the cavity and implements high‐fidelity fractional single qubit gates via a train of optical pulses. We also describe its operation under microwave control, further extending our analysis. Our primary contribution in this work is the integration of this device model into a standardized software framework for quantum memory architectures.
