Prethermalization and dynamic phase transition in an isolated trapped ion spin chain

We propose an experimental scheme to observe prethermalization and a dynamic phase transition in a one-dimensional XY spin chain with long-range interactions and inhomogeneous lattice spacing, which can be readily implemented with a recently developed trapped-ion quantum simulator. Local physical ob...
