  A conceptually simple model for strongly interacting compact U(1) lattice
gauge theory is expressed as operators acting on qubits. The number of
independent gauge links is reduced to its minimum through the use of Gauss's
law. The model can be implemented with any number of qubits per gauge link, and
a choice as small as two is shown to be useful. Real-time propagation and
real-time collisions are observed on lattices in two spatial dimensions. The
extension to three spatial dimensions is also developed, and a first look at
3-dimensional real-time dynamics is presented.
