Phase protection of Fano-Feshbach resonances

The lifetime of decaying quantum states has been thought to depend on the strength of the coupling causing the decay. Here the authors demonstrate that quantum mechanical interference can dominate this process, observing Fano-Feshbach resonance lifetimes covering several orders of magnitude.
