We present the first quiet Sun spectropolarimetric observations obtained withthe Visible SpectroPolarimeter (ViSP) at the $4-$m Daniel K. Inouye SolarTelescope (DKIST). We recorded observations in a wavelength range that includesthe magnetically sensitive Fe I $6301.5/6302.5$ $\AA$ doublet. With anestimated spatial resolution of 0.08'', this represents the highest spatialresolution full-vector spectropolarimetric observations ever obtained of thequiet Sun. We identified $53$ small-scale magnetic elements, including $47$magnetic loops and $4$ unipolar magnetic patches, with linear and circularpolarisation detected in all of them. Of particular interest is a magneticelement in which the polarity of the magnetic vector appears to change threetimes in only $400$ km and which has linear polarisation signals throughout. Wefind complex Stokes $V$ profiles at the polarity inversion lines of magneticloops and discover degenerate solutions, as we are unable to conclusivelydetermine whether these arise due to gradients in the atmospheric parameters orsmearing of opposite polarity signals. We analyse a granule which notably haslinear and circular polarisation signals throughout, providing an opportunityto explore its magnetic properties. On this small scale we see the magneticfield strength range from $25$ G at the granular boundary to $2$ kG in theintergranular lane (IGL), and sanity check the values with the weak and strongfield approximations. A value of $2$ kG in the IGL is among the highestmeasurements ever recorded for the internetwork.
