Ultracold molecules have promising applications in quantum simulation of many-body systems. I will describe efforts for next-generation molecular gas experiments at the University of Chicago involving potassium-silver molecules.  These 'ultrapolar' molecules are capable of dipolar-mediated entanglement approaching MHz level speeds, presenting interesting opportunities for realizing exotic phases of matter and controlled studies of quantum thermalization.
