| contents | We study the post-quench unitary dynamics of a quantum sunburst spin model, composed of a transverse-field quantum Ising ring which is suddenly coupled to a set of independent external qubits along the longitudinal direction, in a way to respect a residual translation invariance and the Ising $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Starting from the different equilibrium quantum phases of the system, we characterize the decoherence and the energy storage in the external qubits, which may be interpreted as a probing apparatus for the inner Ising ring. Our results show that, in proximity of the quantum transitions of the Ising ring, either first-order or continuous, it is possible to put forward dynamic FSS frameworks which unveil peculiar scaling regimes, depending on the way in which the large-size limit is taken: either by fixing the number $n$ of probing qubits, or their interspace distance $b$. In any case, the dependence of the various observables on $n$ can be reabsorbed into a redefinition of the quench parameter by a $\sqrt{n}$ prefactor. We also address the role of a nearest-neighbor coupling between the external qubits. |
