Popis: Fast discrimination between quantum states of superconducting artificial atoms is an important ingredient for quantum information processing. In circuit quantum electrodynamics, increasing the signal field amplitude in the readout resonator, dispersively coupled to the artificial atom, improves the signal-to-noise ratio and increases the measurement strength. Here we employ this effect over two orders of magnitude in readout power, made possible by the unique combination of a dimer Josephson junction array amplifier with a large dynamic range, and the fact that the readout of our granular aluminum fluxonium artificial atom remained quantum-non-demolition (QND) at relatively large photon numbers in the readout resonator, up to $\overline{n} = 110$. Using Bayesian inference, this allows us to detect quantum jumps faster than the readout resonator response time $2/\kappa$, where $\kappa$ is the bandwidth of the readout resonator.
