Experiments for time-energy uncertainty relation

Are there experiments which you can claim that they are the evidence of the time-energy uncertainty relation?
Or can you write which experiments can be directly related to this uncertainty relation?
i.e A beta decay or a strange effect in (quantum) optics... everything you have in mind!

Thank you very much.

I would have thought this sort of thing falls under the heading of how energy
spread observed from in the decay of an unstable state is related
to the lifetime of the state.

I agree. Mossbauuer Effect experiments (Pound Rebka at Harvard) are a good example

[Actually need to do Mossbauer Experiment at constant elevation to remove gravity's effect]

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
