Coupling a mesoscopic conductor to a microwave cavity can lead to fascinating feedback effects which generate strong correlations between the dynamics of photons and charges. We explore the connection between cavity dynamics and charge transport in a model system consisting of a voltage-biased Josephson junction embedded in a high-Q cavity. We find that strong nonlinearities which occur in the cavity dynamics are associated with the emergence of novel regimes of charge and photonic transport. We also show that when the state of the cavity is conditioned on measurements of the number of photons emitted one can reveal fragile features, such as cat states, which are lost within the usual unconditioned dynamics.
