Ultracold dipolar molecules with strong long-range and anisotropic interactions serve as a novel platform for the quantum simulation and quantum information processing. In this poster, we present our recent progress towards creating ultracold gases of both fermionic and bosonic NaK ground state molecules. Using a single experimental apparatus, we successfully prepare Bose-Fermi and Bose-Bose mixtures of Na-40, 41K. Subsequently, we create weakly bound Na-40,41K Feshbach molecules through radio-frequency (RF) association, which can be transferred to the rovibrational ground state via stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP). Additionally, we outline our plans to integrate a glass cell and a microscope objective for high-resolution imaging and control of dipolar NaK molecules in an optical lattice.
