We consider strangeness correlations of the EPR type in K^0 \bar{K}^0 pairs created in a J^{PC} = 1^{--} state as a function of time under the hypothesis that spontaneous decoherence takes place. We parameterize the degree of decoherence by a factor (1-\zeta) which multiplies the quantum-mechanical interference terms occurring in the amplitudes for like and unlike strangeness events and discuss the dependence of this procedure on the basis chosen in the K^0--\bar{K}^0 space to which the interference terms correspond. Consequently, all statements about the ``decoherence parameter'' \zeta inferred from experimental data are basis-dependent as well. We illustrate this point by estimating the value of \zeta for the two bases {K_L, K_S} and {K^0, \bar{K}^0} with the help of recent data of the CPLEAR experiment.

    The complete flavor density matrix of a neutral meson-antimeson pair can be reconstructed from time-dependent semileptonic decay rates, with B_s^0 and K^0 the most favorable systems.
