no.

you have, among others,

- single particle single slit
- mach-zehnder
- delayed choice quantum eraser
- two-photon interference experiments
- i guess even quantum entanglement
- there are many ways to come up with new experiments/ideas

No, it is just the "textbook" example. If you ask me it is not even a good example since people tend to get hung about the nature of photons etc., which is in no way relevant.
