Abstract

In this paper, we present a density operator description for a dissipative-dispersive Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier. A quantum master equation has been derived for the description of dissipation and thermal fluctuations that arise from lossy dielectric substrates. The formalism is especially effective in the dispersive case. Based on the equation of motion of the system density operator, we investigate the amplification performance by predicting the signal gain and the total photon number, considering amplifier phase-mismatch present in real devices. In addition to the gain investigation, we perform a two-mode squeezing analysis for such structures.
