摘 要:Electromagnetic(EM)metamaterials are artificially engineered materials with extraordinary EM properties beyond the limit of existing nat-ural materials;thus,they have been widely used to manipulate the amplitude,phase,polarization,frequency,wave vector,waveform,and other degrees of freedom of EM waves in many practical *** this review,we will summarize recent advances in this flourishing field of EM metamateri-als,first from the perspectives of the classical regime and then the quantum *** specifically,in the classical regime,traditional EM metamate-rials are based on effective medium theory,and they have limitations of fixed functionalities and an inability to control EM waves in real *** over-come these restrictions,information metamaterials,including digital coding and field-programmable metamaterials,have recently been proposed to en-able real-time manipulation of EM waves based on the theory of information *** taking advantage of information metamaterials and artificial in-telligence,another crucial milestone of intelligent metamaterials has been achieved in the development of classical *** overviewing EM metamaterials in the classical regime,we discuss cutting-edge studies of EM metamaterials in the quantum regime,namely,topological metamaterials and quantum *** nonclassical metamaterials show excellent ability to flexibly manipulate the quantum states,and they extend the clas-sical information metamaterials into the field of quantum information *** the end of this review,we will give some conclusions and perspectives on this fast-evolving field.
