Abstract

We reconsider the model of quantum mechanics violation in the -- system, due to Ellis, Hagelin, Nanopoulos, and Srednicki, in which - and -violating signatures arise from the evolution of pure states into mixed states. We present a formalism for computing time-dependent asymmetries in this model and show that present data constrains its parameters significantly. In the future, this model will be put to very stringent tests at a ϕ factory. We present the theory of these tests and show the relation between particular ϕ decay correlations and the parameters of quantum mechanics violation.
