The microscopic pair structure of superfluids has profound consequences on their properties. Delocalized pairs are predicted to be less affected by static disorder than localized pairs. Ultracold gases allow tuning the pair size via interactions, where for resonant interaction superfluids show largest critical velocity, i.e., stability against perturbations. The sensitivity of such fluids to strong, time-dependent disorder is less explored. Here, we investigate ultracold, interacting Fermi gases across various interaction regimes after rapid switching optical disorder potentials. We record the ability for quantum hydrodynamic expansion of the gas to quantify its long-range phase coherence. Contrary to static expectations, the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) exhibits significant resilience against disorder quenches, while the resonantly interacting Fermi gas permanently loses quantum hydrodynamics. Our findings suggest an additional absorption channel perturbing the resonantly interacting gas as pairs can be directly affected by the disorder quench. The nature of microscopic pairs in fermionic superfluids affects their behaviour in weak disorder. Here, authors probe the response of fermionic superfluids to strong, time-dependent disorder revealing the pairs size and binding energy as important microscopic properties for macroscopic response.
