During the last 15 years, many quantum optics experiments were reproduced with microwave photons using superconducting circuits by building on the strong interaction of electromagnetic fields with Josephson junctions.This thesis focuses on the demonstration of a process where one microwave photon is converted to several photons at a different frequency. Contrary to phase-insensitive amplification, this multiplication can, in principle, be performed without added noise, thereby providing a building block for a simple single photon detector which is still missing for microwave photons.In order to attain efficient photo-multiplication, strong nonlinear coupling is required. We have designed high-impedance resonators coupled to voltage-biased J...
