  We show that the quantum chirality of charge carriers in graphene can be
mimicked in optical structures. More precisely, we demonstrate that the
particular form of the transmission coefficient at an interface in graphene
between regions with different parameters can be retrieved in optics in either
isotropic, gyrotropic and electro-optic materials or in complex conjugate
materials. Quantitative analogies are found, at least in some parameter range,
between optical and quantum parameters for which the transmission coefficient
is similar in the optical and quantum cases, and hence the optical fields and
quantum wavefunctions propagate in a similar manner.
