- Abstract: This paper presents a detailed theoretical review of the amplification process in Josephson Parametric Amplifiers (JPAs), which are crucial for quantum-limited signal amplification in superconducting circuits. The paper begins by outlining the principles of parametric amplification, focusing on how a strong classical pump interacts with the nonlinear Josephson medium in reflection geometry. The key dynamical equations are derived under intense pumping, leading to a nonlinear steady-state solution. Linearization around this solution allows to analyze the system response to weak signals and extract expressions for parametric gain and intermodulation gain using the input-output formalism. Numerically, the equations are solved to explore how the gain depends on frequency detuning and pump strength, which is visualized with a gain response curve. By enhancing our understanding of JPAs, this work aims to inspire continued research in the field of quantum-limited amplification.
