Abstract

Broadband quantum-memory interfaces are often assessed by center-frequency impedance matching or by a sampled efficiency curve. Neither supplies an operational continuous-band certificate, and absorption is not automatically reversible storage. We model a passive one-port multiresonator interface by a positive-real spectral admittance with explicitly identified controlled output channels. If their one-photon subspace is mapped isometrically into long-lived registers, the write probability for a normalized spectrum ff supported in a band B\mathcal{B} is 1Br(iω)2f(ω)2dω1-\int_{\mathcal{B}} |r(i\omega)|^2 |f(\omega)|^2\,d\omega, and the worst-case write efficiency is 1rL(B)21-\|r\|_{L^\infty(\mathcal{B})}^2. We prove that a finite passive rational interface cannot have zero reflection on a nonzero interval and derive the Bode--Fano floor rexp[πκ/(2B)]\|r\|_\infty \geq \exp[-\pi\kappa/(2B)] for a band of half-width BB. At fixed pole locations, minimax synthesis is a quasiconvex semi-infinite problem in the oscillator strengths. We then give an exact computer-assisted certificate: after a decimal design is converted into an explicit rational system, the continuum reflection bound becomes positivity of one univariate polynomial and is proved by Sturm root counting; exact Routh--Hurwitz determinants certify stability and minimum phase. In units κ=2\kappa=2 and B=1B=1, an 11-mode design obeys 0.064112405r<0.06411250.064112405 \leq \|r\|_\infty < 0.0641125, implying a conditional uniform write guarantee above 0.9958895870.995889587. This is a reproducible certificate for a specified interface, not a claim of global movable-pole optimality or of an experimentally complete memory.
