The interaction between superconducting quantum circuits and on-chip microwave resonators represents a rich field of research. We focus on the general, nonlinear interaction of a superconducting flux qubit with three modes of a coplanar wave-guide resonator and show how to implement, through suitable resonant conditions, a first-order Hamiltonian that yields nondegenerate, two-mode squeezing of the cavity field. Furthermore, we study the coherent properties of this engineered interaction and prove that it is able to generate a high degree of entanglement, while approaching perfect squeezing at the cavity output. Finally, we consider a realistic scenario including the presence of decoherence effects to evaluate the robustness of the proposed squeezing mechanism.
