Abstract.

A quantitative formulation of Bohr’s complementarity principle and interferometric duality is discussed and applied to the neutral kaon system. Recent measurements by the CPLEAR Collaboration can be easily interpreted in terms of neutral kaon interferometry, illustrating and confirming those basic principles of quantum mechanics. The subject can be further investigated at the operational \(\phi\)-factory Daphne.
