 For JAX, apart from following the same procedure described for CuPy, the PyLops operator must
 be also wrapped into a :class:`pylops.JaxOperator`.
 
+See below for a comphrensive list of supported operators and additional functionalities for both the
+``cupy`` and ``jax`` backends.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Let's now briefly look at some use cases.
+
+End-to-end GPU powered inverse problems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+First we consider the most common scenario when both the model and data
+vectors fit onto the GPU memory. We can therefore simply replace all our
+``numpy`` arrays with ``cupy`` arrays and solve the inverse problem of
+interest end-to-end on the GPU.
+
+.. image:: _static/cupy_diagram.png
+   :width: 600
+   :align: center
+
+Let's first write a code snippet using ``numpy`` arrays, which PyLops
+will run on your CPU:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   ny, nx = 400, 400
+   G = np.random.normal(0, 1, (ny, nx)).astype(np.float32)
+   x = np.ones(nx, dtype=np.float32)
+
+   # Create operator
+   Gop = MatrixMult(G, dtype='float32')
+
+   # Create data and invert
+   y = Gop @ x
+   xest = Gop / y
+
+Now we write a code snippet using ``cupy`` arrays, which PyLops will run on
+your GPU:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   ny, nx = 400, 400
+   G = cp.random.normal(0, 1, (ny, nx)).astype(np.float32)
+   x = cp.ones(nx, dtype=np.float32)
+
+   # Create operator
+   Gop = MatrixMult(G, dtype='float32')
+
+   # Create data and invert
+   y = Gop @ x
+   xest = Gop / y
+
+The code is almost unchanged apart from the fact that we now use ``cupy`` arrays,
+PyLops will figure this out.
+
+Similarly, we write a code snippet using ``jax`` arrays which PyLops will run on
+your GPU/TPU:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   ny, nx = 400, 400
+   G = jnp.array(np.random.normal(0, 1, (ny, nx)).astype(np.float32))
+   x = jnp.ones(nx, dtype=np.float32)
+
+   # Create operator
+   Gop = JaxOperator(MatrixMult(G, dtype='float32'))
+
+   # Create data and invert
+   y = Gop @ x
+   xest = Gop / y
+
+   # Adjoint via AD
+   xadj = Gop.rmatvecad(x, y)
+
+Again, the code is almost unchanged apart from the fact that we now use ``jax`` arrays.
+
+
+Mixed CPU-GPU powered inverse problems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Let us now consider a more intricate scenario where we have access to
+a GPU-powered operator, however the model and/or data vectors are too large
+to fit onto the GPU memory (or VRAM).
+
+For the sake of clarity, we consider a problem where
+the operator can be written as a :class:`pylops.BlockDiag` of
+PyLops operators. Note how, by simply sandwiching any of the GPU-powered
+operator within two :class:`pylops.ToCupy` operators, we are
+able to tell PyLops to transfer to the GPU only the part of the model vector
+required by a given operator and transfer back the output to the  CPU before
+forming the combine output vector (i.e., the output vector of the
+:class:`pylops.BlockDiag`).
+
+.. image:: _static/numpy_cupy_bd_diagram.png
+   :width: 1000
+   :align: center
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   nops, n = 5, 4
+   Ms = [np.diag((i + 1) * np.ones(n, dtype=dtype)) \
+            for i in range(nops)]
+   Ms = [M.T @ M for M in Ms]
+
+   # Create operator
+   Mops = []
+   for iop in range(nops):
+      Mop = MatrixMult(cp.asarray(Ms[iop], dtype=dtype))
+      Top = ToCupy(Mop.dims, dtype=dtype)
+      Top1 = ToCupy(Mop.dimsd, dtype=dtype)
+      Mop = Top1.H @ Mop @ Top
+      Mops.append(Mop)
+   Mops = BlockDiag(Mops, forceflat=True)
+
+   # Create data and invert
+   x = np.ones(n * nops, dtype=dtype)
+   y = Mops @ x.ravel()
+   xest = Mops / y
+
+
+Finally, let us consider a problem where
+the operator can be written as a :class:`pylops.VStack` of
+PyLops operators and the model vector can be fully transferred to the GPU.
+We can use again the :class:`pylops.ToCupy` operator, however this
+time we will only use it to move the output of each operator to the CPU.
+Since we are now in a special scenario, where the input of the overall
+operator sits on the GPU and the output on the
+CPU, we need to inform the :class:`pylops.VStack` operator about this.
+This can be easily done using the additional ``inoutengine`` parameter. Let's
+see this with an example.
+
+.. image:: _static/numpy_cupy_vs_diagram.png
+   :width: 1000
+   :align: center
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   nops, n, m = 3, 4, 5
+   Ms = [np.random.normal(0, 1, (n, m)) for _ in range(nops)]
+
+   # Create operator
+   Mops = []
+   for iop in range(nops):
+      Mop = MatrixMult(cp.asarray(Ms[iop]), dtype=dtype)
+      Top1 = ToCupy(Mop.dimsd, dtype=dtype)
+      Mop = Top1.H @ Mop
+      Mops.append(Mop)
+   Mops = VStack(Mops, inoutengine=("numpy", "cupy"))
+
+   # Create data and invert
+   x = cp.ones(m, dtype=dtype)
+   y = Mops @ x.ravel()
+   xest = pylops_cgls(Mops, y, x0=cp.zeros_like(x))[0]
+
+These features are currently not available for ``jax`` arrays.
