• Abstract: Rapid progress in cooling and trapping of molecules has enabled first experiments on high resolution spectroscopy of trapped diatomic molecules, promising unprecedented precision. Extending this work to polyatomic molecules provides unique opportunities due to more complex geometries and additional internal degrees of freedom. Here, this is achieved by combining a homogeneous-field microstructured electric trap, rotational transitions with minimal Stark broadening at a 'magic' offset electric field, and optoelectrical Sisyphus cooling of molecules to the low millikelvin temperature regime. We thereby reduce Stark broadening on the $J=5\leftarrow4$ ($K=3$) transition of formaldehyde at $364\,$GHz to well below $1\,$kHz, observe Doppler-limited linewidths down to $3.8\,$kHz, and determine the 'magic'-field line position with an uncertainty below $100\,$Hz. Our approach opens a multitude of possibilities for investigating diverse polyatomic molecule species.

  This study provides insights into the static and dynamic quantum properties of the trinuclear high-spin iron(III) molecular complex Fe$_3$. The bipartite negativity reveals that the pairwise entanglement between any pair of iron(III) magnetic ions of the molecular complex Fe$_3$ can be significantly enhanced by a small magnetic field. A qualitatively similar behavior is also observed in the genuine tripartite entanglement among all three iron(III) magnetic ions in the trinuclear complex Fe$_3$.

  We demonstrate cooling of a three-dimensional gas of fermionic sodium-potassium molecules to well below the Fermi temperature using microwave shielding. The molecules are protected from reaching short range with a repulsive barrier engineered by coupling rotational states with a blue-detuned circularly polarized microwave. This large elastic-to-inelastic collision ratio allows us to cool the molecular gas down to 21 nanokelvin, corresponding to 0.36 times the Fermi temperature.

We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.

  Electrical control of spins at the nanoscale offers architectural advantages in spintronics.

E-field sensitivities reported so far are rather weak, prompting the question of how to design molecules with stronger spin-electric couplings.
