Josephson parametric amplifiers (JPA) have recently become promising devices in circuit quantum electrodynamics. We report on the detailed characterization of a flux-driven JPA at millikelvin temperatures and investigate its squeezing properties by two different detection techniques. By superimposing a squeezed vacuum and a vacuum state on a microwave beam splitter, we demonstrate a frequency-degenerate, continuous-variable path entanglement, which constitutes an essential resource in quantum information and communication protocols.
