Microwave (MW) shielding is a technique that recently enabled the formation of quantum degenerate Fermi gases [1] and BECs [2,3] of dipolar molecules. The interaction potential can provide field-linked bound states [4], which give rise to resonances [5] that allows independent tuning of dipolar and contact interaction though the numerous MW field parameters. In this talk I want to advertise MW shielding highly versatile tool for quantum simulation [6]. In particular it gives access to stable Efimov states, quantum crystals and extended Hubbard models with on- and off-site interactions. I will further introduce my ERC project in which I plan to realize these systems based on highly dipolar CsAg molecules in optical tweezers.
