11. In the current-pumping scheme, the pump modulates Josephson inductance only quadratically unless the SQUID is biased by a dc. Therefore, in the degenerate-mode operation, the frequencies of the pump and the signal are equal (Ref.).

14. The quality factor is flux dependent. It tends to be smaller as we approach / 0 =0.5. For example, it is 170 for / 0 =0.42.
15. The maximum gain increases as we increase Pp. However, the device becomes unstable if we increase Pp too much, which prevented us from making the maximum gain much higher than 14 dB.
