## TL;DR

This paper demonstrates a novel experimental technique that creates a coherent superposition of Feshbach dimers and Efimov trimers, enabling precise measurement of their properties and interactions in Efimov physics.

## Contribution

It introduces a method to coherently superpose Feshbach dimers and Efimov trimers, allowing detailed study of their energies, lifetimes, and atom-trimer interactions.

## Key findings

- Precise measurement of Efimov trimer binding energy.
- Access to trimer lifetime and atom-trimer elastic processes.
- Validation of the data analysis method for noisy experiments.

## Abstract

A powerful experimental technique to study Efimov physics at positive scattering lengths is demonstrated. We use the Feshbach dimers as a local reference for Efimov trimers by creating a coherent superposition of both states. Measurement of its coherent evolution provides information on the binding energy of the trimers with unprecedented precision and yields access to previously inaccessible parameters of the system such as the Efimov trimers' lifetime and the elastic processes between atoms and the constituents of the superposition state. We develop a comprehensive data analysis suitable for noisy experimental data that confirms the trustworthiness of our demonstration.
