This polynomial time dependence associated with higher-order S-matrix poles is of the order of l/Γ and is not to be confused with the non-exponential time dependence mentioned in Ref. 2, which was an artifact of the Hilbert space mathematics and could therefore be made arbitrarily small by a suitable choice of the Hilbert space vector.
