We propose a scheme to simulate lattice spin models based on strong andlong-range interacting Rydberg atoms stored in a large-spacing array ofmagnetic microtraps. Each spin is encoded in a collective spin state involvinga single $nP$ Rydberg atom excited from an ensemble of ground-state alkaliatoms prepared via Rydberg blockade. After the excitation laser is switched offthe Rydberg spin states on neighbouring lattice sites interact via generalisotropic or anisotropic spin-spin interactions. To read out the collectivespin states we propose a single Rydberg atom triggered avalanche scheme inwhich the presence of a single Rydberg atom conditionally transfers a largenumber of ground-state atoms in the trap to an untrapped state which can bereadily detected by site-resolved absorption imaging. Such a quantum simulatorshould allow the study of quantum spin systems in almost arbitrarytwo-dimensional configurations. This paves the way towards engineering exoticspin models, such as spin models based on triangular-symmetry lattices whichcan give rise to frustrated-spin magnetism.
