摘要
We propose to establish the relation between the topological order in condensed matter systems and the novel optical properties in metamaterials, by mapping explicitly Maxwell's equations to the Dirac equation in one dimension (1D). Band inversion and end states, as two typical topological phenomena in the Dirac equation, have been observed in microwave experiments.
