- Abstract
In this set of lectures we show that particle physics can also contribute to fundamental questions about quantum mechanics (QM) and even shine new light in the fine workings of quantum physics and this at scales of energies which are not available for usual quantum systems. In particular the massive meson–antimeson systems are specially suitable as they offer a unique laboratory to test various aspects of particle physics (CP violation, CPT violation, etc.) as well as to test the foundations of QM (local realistic theories versus QM, Bell inequalities, decoherence effects, quantum marking and erasure concepts, Bohr’s complementary relation, etc.).
