    Résumé

    The neutral K meson, or neutral kaon, K°, and its antiparticle form a remarkable quantum mechanical two-state system that has played an important role in the history of elementary particle physics. Indeed, ever since the discovery of K° half a century ago, neutral kaons have been a rich source of unique and fascinating phenomena associated with their production, decay and propagation in both vacuum and matter. This overview conveys the unique beauty of a quantum-mechanical system that contains so many of the aspects of modern physics.
