abstract = {We present a detailed analysis of the time series of
time-stamped neutron counts obtained by single-neutron
interferometry. The neutron counting statistics display the
usual Poissonian behavior, but the variance of the neutron
counts does not. Instead, the variance is found to exhibit a
dependence on the phase-shifter setting which can be
explained by a probabilistic model that accounts for
fluctuations of the phase shift. The time series of the
detection events exhibit long-time correlations with
amplitudes that also depend on the phase-shifter setting.
These correlations appear as damped oscillations with a
period of about 2.8 s. By simulation, we show that the
correlations of the time differences observed in the
experiment can be reproduced by assuming that, for a fixed
setting of the phase shifter, the phase shift experienced by
the neutrons varies periodically in time with a period of
2.8 s. The same simulations also reproduce the behavior of
the variance. Our analysis of the experimental data suggests
that time-stamped data of single-particle interference
experiments may exhibit transient features that require a
description in terms of non-stationary processes, going
beyond the standard quantum model of independent random
events.},
