Abstract
One of the biggest open questions in fundamental physics concerns the mystery of why there is more matter than antimatter in today's universe. Many modern experiments try to find answers to this question by searching for sources of charge conjugation and parity (CP) violation. With the discovery of a Higgs boson in 2012 by ATLAS and CMS, a new promising sector of probing for CP violation opened up. The connection between the Higgs boson and the heaviest known elementary particle, the top quark, is particularly especially interesting in the light of their special role in many models beyond the standard model of particle physics. With first results emerging from LHC experiments, I will review the status and further avenues in this article.
