| contents | The experimental realization of the quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism in arrays of trapped Rydberg atoms has brought the problem of commensurate-incommensurate transition back into the focus of active research. Relying on equilibrium simulations of finite intervals, direct chiral transitions at the boundary of the period-3 and period-4 phases have been predicted. Here, we study how these chiral transitions can be diagnosed experimentally with critical dynamics. We demonstrate that chiral transitions can be distinguished from the floating phases by comparing Kibble-Zurek dynamics on arrays with different numbers of atoms. Furthermore, by sweeping in the opposite direction and keeping track of the order parameter, we identify the location of conformal points. Finally, combining forward and backward sweeps, we extract all critical exponents characterizing the transition. |
