Dr. Evan Harris Walker and others did something along these lines, 
trying (as I recall) to modify interference fringes; there are 
disputes in the literature over the outcome, but I'm inclined to 
think that no such effect was seen. But of course many machines 
devised by Dr. Helmut Schmidt to test psychokinesis operate directly 
at the quantum level, since the decay rates of isotopes are modified 
slightly up or down, and this has been achieved retrocausally as 
well. (Don't hit me, I'm just the reporter.)
