Summary (AI generated)

In this presentation, I will provide a brief overview of metamaterials, which I believe is familiar to many of you. I will discuss our approach to quantum graph construction of these metamaterials, focusing on the principles of beamforming, refraction, and reflection. These concepts are fundamental to the study of materials, but we will examine them within the discrete framework of graphs.

Additionally, I will touch on the topic of negative refraction and its relevance to our experiments. A significant focus will be on what I refer to as the K-space filter. While I will not delve deeply into other related topics, they remain important and interesting areas of study.
