I remember having read about a double-slit experiment
where the whole setup was disassembled and then
(after some days) reassembled between the single
events.
This one?
http://leifi.physik.uni-muenchen.de/web_ph12/originalarbeiten/taylor/taylor_e.htm
In 1909 Geoffrey Ingram Taylor conducted an experiment
in which he showed that even the feeblest light source
could lead to interference fringes.
"The longest experiment took 3 months, corresponding
to the intensity of a candle more than a mile away"
It seems that this experiment led to Dirac's famous koan
"each photon then interferes only with itself".
