Abstract
The neutral K meson system is analyzed in the framework of the Rigged Hilbert Space quantum mechanics. The K mesons that are unstable are described as the Gamow states which are the generalized eigenstates of the hamiltonian with complex energy. It is shown that the generalized eigenfunction expansion of a coherent superposition of K 0 and \(\overline {K^0 }\) contains the usual K 1 and K 2 states and the background term which has non vanishing coupling to the 2π meson state. This can produce effect similar to the CP violating hamiltonian.
