For these one dimensional (1D) sim- ulations, there is excellent agreement between x-, y- and z- representations, as well as very good agreement with nearly all the standard plane wave boundary condition results for reflection and transmission off a dielectric discontinuity. In the QLA simulation, no boundary conditions are im- posed at the continuous, but sharply increasing, dielectic boundary layers. Two dimensional (2D) QLA scattering simulations in the x-z plane are performed for an electromagnetic pulse interacting with a conical dielectric obstacle for the 8-16 qubit model. <a href="http://library.psfc.mit.edu/catalog/reports/2020/20ja/20ja105/abstract.php">PSFC REPORT PSFC/JA-20-105</a><br /><br />AKR was supported by DoE Grant Number DE-FG02-91ER-54109 and DE-SC0018090.<br /><br />If this record does not contain the full text, then the manuscript has been embargoed by the publisher thus restricting open access for 12 to 24 months after publication.
