Linear strings of trapped ions in radio-frequency traps are a well-established platform for quantum simulation of magnetism. However, linear strings feature some drawbacks, among them difficulties in scaling the system size beyond 50 ions or the inability to investigate spin models in more than one dimension where many exotic quantum phenomena are expected to manifest. Here we present our novel ion trap apparatus which is capable of trapping and coherently manipulating two-dimensional ion Coulomb crystals of up to 105
