A measurement is reported of the velocity dependence of the total cross section for Yb optical radiator-Xe perturber collisions in which the active atom is in a superposition of dissimilar (S and P) states. The total cross section is found to vary with relative velocity in a simple manner, consistent with van der Waals scattering as the dominant interaction for this nonclassical system.
