Abstract

We have demonstrated 42% squeezing of 4.2-K thermal noise using a Josephson-parametric amplifier operated at 19.4 GHz. The amplifier has been operated at 0.1 K with an excess noise of 0.28 K referred to the input port. This is less than the vacuum fluctuation noise hν/2k=0.47 K at 19.4 GHz. The amplifier thus is less noise than a linear phase-insensitive amplifier such as a maser could in principle be.
