such simulations is the ability to control the environment the system couples to, be it to isolate the system or to engineer a tailored environment of interest. One strategy recently put forward for environment engineering is the use of metamaterials with negative index of refraction. Here we build on this concept and propose a circuit-QED simulation of many-body Hamiltonians using superlattice metamaterials. We give a detailed description of a superlattice transmission line coupled to an embedded qubit, and show how this system can be used to simulate the spin-boson model in regimes where analytical and numerical methods usually fail, e.g. the strong coupling regime.
