Abstract
The authors study the interplay between the spin exchange and motional dynamics in the case of two interacting circular Rydberg atoms confined in harmonic traps. The results unveil new physics emerging from the long time scale in the proposal of an $X\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}X\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}Z$ spin-array simulator based on chains of trapped circular atoms.
