We consider a superconducting flux qubit inductively coupled to a driven SQUID, acting as a detector, in presence of weak dissipation and close to the optimal working point. We study the nonlinear response of the detector to the drive and the population difference of the qubit state. By varying the external magnetic field piercing the SQUID, we access two different regimes: i) For vanishing external flux, the SQUID acts as a Josephson bifurcation amplifier, however, operated here with few energy quanta rather than in its classical regime. In this regime, we show that the back-action of the detector on the qubit is small, rendering the driven SQUID an ideal detector. ii) When the external flux is close to half a flux quantum, the combined qubit-oscillator system implements the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model. We study multiphoton (anti-)resonances in the two-photon transition regime.
