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]
