Description
The neutral kaon system offers a unique possibility
to perform fundamental tests of CPT invariance, as well as
of the basic principles of quantum mechanics.
The most recent limits on CPT violation will be reviewed, including the
ones based on the Bell-Steinberger relation, related to possible
decoherence mechanisms, or Lorentz symmetry breaking.
Quantum coherence and other QM tests performed by studying the time
evolution of correlated kaon pairs will also be reviewed.
The results show no deviations from the expectations of quantum
mechanics and CPT symmetry, while the accuracy reaches the interesting
region of the Planck's scale.
Finally, perspectives on this kind of experimental studies will be
presented.
