We investigate the decoherence of a fermionic ⁴⁰K impurity that arises from collisions with a Fermi sea of ⁶Li using the spin-echo technique. We use a Feshbach resonance to tune the interaction of the impurity with the sea. We measure the decoherence rate of the ⁴⁰K impurity for various interaction strengths and temperatures. From this, the collision rate of the impurity with the sea can be computed. The results show good agreement with a theory based on the Fermi Liquid picture.
