Abstract
A quantum lattice representation (QLA) is devised for the initial value problem of one-dimensional (1D) propagation of an electromagnetic disturbance in a scalar dielectric medium satisfying directly only the two curl equations of Maxwell. It si found that only 4 qubits/node are required. The collision, streaming, and potential operators are determined so as to recover the two curl equations to second order. Both polarizations are considered.
