Since the mid-20th century, it has been understood that Maxwell's equations are not exact but are a classical field theory approximation to the more accurate and fundamental theory of quantum electrodynamics. In many situations, though, deviations from Maxwell's equations are immeasurably small. Exceptions include nonclassical light, photon-photon scattering, quantum optics, and many other phenomena related to photons or virtual photons.

Hi

Hopefully this will give me some insight into how the field is set up via EM waves. Note that I am specifically interested in how the field according to Ampere's Law is actually set up in a time-dependent fashion via EM waves.

you need simulation

I would use the Jefimenko magnetic field expression.
