Performance estimation of experimentally demonstrated quantum memories is key for their deployment in quantum communication and quantum computing networks [1]. While existing platforms like Qiskit and Strawberry Fields enable quantum simulations, they do not natively account for the lossy and noisy nature of physical devices. We present a practical framework for modeling ensemble-based atomic quantum memories using the quantum channel formalism. By representing several state-of-the-art experimental memories with Kraus operators, we highlight key performance metrics of each of the memories and enable direct comparison between them. We further demonstrate the utility of this approach by simulating a memory-assisted quantum token protocol for authentication, for different experimentally demonstrated memories [2].
