Noise and dissipation in a circuit quantum electrodynamic description of a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier

In this paper, we are constructing a circuit quantum electrodynamic model describing dissipative effects in a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA). Losses and noise are treated using the quantum Langevin method. The total Hamiltonian of our model describes the coupling of the modes in a parametric four-wave-mixing scheme, as well as the interaction with the environment. Based on the Heisenberg equations of motion, we obtain the temporal evolution of the signal photon number and analyze the signal gain of the JTWPA.     «
