A single photon interacting with a single atom is the most fundamental form of light interacting with matter and has been extensively studied in the field of Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (cavity QED). Here, a non-linearity like an atom is coupled to a single mode of the electromagnetic field in a cavity. Another field which explores the quantum mechanical nature of photons is Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics (cQED) where photons are the quantized excitations of a superconducting microwave resonator and non-linearity is introduced by the Josephson junction. Like this, setups analog to that of in cavity QED can be copied to cQED, with a number of differences. For example, the photons propagating in a transmission line are more confined and the circuits are made with conventional lithography techniques, allowing for more freedom in engineering the system parameters. In the first part of the thesis, we build a numerical model in order to examine the feasibility of quenching the ground state of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) interrupted by a tunable coupling element. Next, by means of experiments and simulations we considered the feasibility of observing experimentally a synchronization effect in a driven CPW with its central conductor interrupted by equally spaced capacitively shunted Josephson junctions (Josephson crystal) based on a recent proposal. Finally, we made a first step in understanding the synchronization from a classical perspective by modelling a Josephson crystal of two junctions as two degenerate non-linearly coupled Duffng oscillators. Concerning the quenching experiment, we found that the plasma frequency must be tuned faster than 1/f with f the resonance frequency of the CPW, which is in the sub-nanosecond regime and therefore unfeasible with current state the art electronics. We also found that, in contrast to what was claimed in the proposal, the synchronization effect cannot be observed for the parameters common in cQED. One way would be to push the limits of the capacitances to several picofarads. Finally, we found that the non-linear coupling causes the two degenerate non-linearly coupled Duffng oscillator to synchronize, which is a first step in understanding the proposed synchronization effect in a fully classical way.
