contents We develop a machine learning (ML) surrogate model to approximate solutions to Maxwell's equations in one dimension, focusing on scenarios involving a material interface that reflects and transmits electro-magnetic waves. Derived from high-fidelity Finite Volume (FV) simulations, our training data includes variations of the initial conditions, as well as variations in one material's speed of light, allowing for the model to learn a range of wave-material interaction behaviors. The ML model autoregressively learns both the physical and frequency embeddings in a vision transformer-based framework. By incorporating Fourier transforms in the latent space, the wave number spectra of the solutions aligns closely with the simulation data. Prediction errors exhibit an approximately linear growth over time with a sharp increase at the material interface. Test results show that the ML solution has adequate relative errors below $10\%$ in over $75$ time step rollouts, despite the presence of the discontinuity and unknown material properties.
