After briefly explaining the special role played by violations of CP and T invariance and their connection with the baryon number of the Universe, I sketch the history of CP violation studies since its totally unexpected discovery in 1964.…
CP violation in the K system is pedagogically reviewed. We discuss its manifestations in the neutral K meson systems, in rare K meson decays and in decays of charged K mesons. Results from classical experiments, and perspectives for…
Three European experiments are engaged at present in the study of CP violation in the kaon system. In particular, NA48/1 and KLOE are concerned with the K-short decaying into three pions, while NA48/2 and KLOE study the charged kaon…
A phenomenological paradigm for the study of CPT-violating effects in the neutral kaon system is presented. Besides the familiar direct and indirect breakings, it encodes possible phenomena leading to irreversibility and dissipation, that…
The neutral kaon system is a sensitive probe of quantum mechanics. We revive a parametrization of non-quantum-mechanical effects that is motivated by considerations of the nature of space-time foam, and show how it can be constrained by new…
A violation of the equivalence principle (VEP) in the Kaon system can, in principle, induce oscillations between $K^\circ$ and $\overline{K^\circ}$ in a manner that need not violate CPT conservation. We show that such a CPT-conserved VEP…
In this paper we present a novel CPT symmetry test in the neutral kaon system based, for the first time, on the direct comparison of the probabilities of a transition and its CPT reverse. The required interchange of "in" $\leftrightarrow$…
Possible signals for indirect CPT violation arising in experiments with neutral kaons are considered in the context of a general CPT- and Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. Certain CPT observables can depend on the meson momentum…
The ongoing experimental efforts in the high energy and high precision communities keep providing evidence for CPT, a fundamental symmetry holding in any local Lorentz invariant theory. We suggest possible interconnections between different…
Recent highlights in CP violation phenomena are reviewed. B-factory results imply that CP-violation phase in the CKM matrix is the dominant contributor to the observed CP violation in K and B-physics. Deviations from the predictions of the…
We discuss the testing of the Standard Model of CP violation, and the search for CP-violating effects from beyond the Standard Model, in $B$ decays. We then focus on the quantum mechanics of the experiments on CP violation to be performed…
Quantum mechanics can also be tested in high energy physics; in particular, the neutral kaon system is very well suited. We show that these massive particles can be considered as qubits --kaonic qubits-- in the very same way as spin-1/2…
Experimental signals for indirect CPT violation in the neutral-meson systems are studied in the context of a general CPT- and Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. In this explicit theory, some CPT observables depend on the meson…
This work gives a general overview of phenomenology developed for neutral-meson searches for CPT violation in the framework of the Standard-Model Extension with focus on meson factories. It gives a comparison of notations and fundamental…
We present a combined treatment of quantum-gravity-induced effects and intrinsic CPT violation in entangled neutral-Kaon states. Our analysis takes into consideration two types of effects: first, those associated with the loss of…
The currently favored model of CP violation is based on phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix describing the weak charge-changing couplings of quarks. The present status of parameters of this matrix is described. Tests of the…
We show that $CPT$ is in general violated in a non-quantum-mechanical way in the effective low-energy theory derived from string theory, as a result of apparent world-sheet charge non-conservation induced by stringy monopoles corresponding…
Invariance under the combined transformations of CPT (in any order) is guaranteed in Quantum Field Theory in flat space times due to a basic theorem (CPT Theorem). The currently used formalism of particle physics phenomenology is based on…
Neutral kaons provide one of the most sensitive system to CP and CPT violation. Tests on CP, CPT and quantum mechanics have been performed at KLOE operating at the DAFNE e+e- collider. Results on the quantum interference in the channel…
The last three years have seen a phase transition in our knowledge about CP violation: (i) Direct CP violation has been established in $K_L \to \pi \pi$. (ii) The first CP violation outside $K_L$ decays has been observed in $B_d \to \psi…
