Here, I will present how to associate two ultracold dipolar molecules into such a bound long-range tetramer state by ramping the value of the electric field of the microwave that engineers those states. This electroassocation process [4, 5], recently observed in an experiment [5], shares a lot in common with magnetoassociation for which one can associate two ultracold atoms into a long-range diatomic molecule using a ramp of a magnetic field [6]. This method can be a primary step to form ultracold ground-state tetramers [7].
