In recent experiments we have demonstrated the resonant coherent coupling of individual photons to a single qubit implemented as a Cooper pair box in a high quality superconducting cavity [1]. In the non-resonant case, the dispersive coupling between the qubit and the cavity field is used to perform quantum non-demolition (QND) measurements of the qubit state [2]. Using this read-out technique we have performed high visibility measurements of Rabi oscillations and Ramsey fringes [3]. Here we present a detailed experimental and theoretical analysis of the cavity response for continuous and pulsed measurements in a wide range of cavity drive amplitudes. We also discuss an optimal read-out strategy for qubits in a continuous QND measurement and aim at demonstrating single shot read-out in the circuit QED architecture [4].\\ \\ $[1]$ A.
