Multimode microwave resonators that can be strongly coupled to superconducting qubits allow exploration of large-scale entanglement, or quantum simulations of many-body phenomena. Typically, long superconducting transmission lines or large arrays of transmission-line resonators are required. This work demonstrates superconducting metamaterial resonators with a dense mode spectrum above a low-frequency band gap. Imaging of the microwave fields shows that these devices exhibit a left-handed dispersion relation, consistent with modeling and simulations. This compact design is compatible with superconducting-qubit integration for applications in quantum information and communication.
