Our earlier work on the quantum amplitude for a scalar field in black-hole evaporation, following gravitational collapse, is here extended to Maxwell theory. Boundary data are specified on initial and final space-like hypersurfaces $\Sigma_{I,F}$, separated by a large Lorentzian proper-time interval $T$, as measured at spatial infinity. The initial boundary data may be chosen (say) to be spherically symmetric, corresponding to a nearly-spherical configuration prior to gravitational collapse. The final data include the intrinsic 3-metric and scalar field, restricted to $\Sigma_F$, in addition to spin-1 data, naturally taken to be the magnetic field $B_i$ on $\Sigma_{I,F} (i=1,2,3)$. For a locally-supersymmetric theory, the quantum amplitude should be proportional to $\exp(iS_{\rm class})$, apart from corrections which are very small when the frequencies in the boundary data are small compared to the Planck scale. Here, $S_{\rm class}$ is the action of the classical solution. The Lorentzian amplitude is found by taking the limit $\theta\to 0_+$. By a method similar to that used in the spin-0 case, one obtains the quantum amplitude for photon data on $\Sigma_F$. The magnetic boundary conditions are related by supersymmetry to the natural spin-2 (gravitational-wave) boundary conditions, which involve fixing the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor.
