A precise study of molecules is difficult due to a large number of motional degrees of freedom and the presence of an internal quantization axis, the interatomic axis. In the field of quantum simulation, Rydberg atoms recently gained attention due to their large interactions. These interactions also give rise to molecules with bond lengths reaching the micron scale, so-called macrodimers. Their large size allows one to pin atom pairs at a fixed orientation and distance matching the molecular bond length before photoassociation, which gives direct access to the molecular axis. Precise control and exploiting Quantum gas microscopy enables access to study different molecular symmetries and electronic structure tomography of the molecular state.
