Dynamics of quantum systems is typically a few orders of magnitude faster than the time-scales which are relevant for our everyday experience. In particular, the relaxation times in solids with strong electronic correlations may be of the order of a few tens of femtoseconds. At longer time, quantum systems typically approach their thermal equilibrium. Yet, for some systems the relaxation may be slowed down or even completely frozen. Approaching the thermal equilibrium unavoidably implies the loss of information concerning the initial quantum state. Therefore, methods of avoiding or slowing down the thermalization might be important for the future applications. During the talk I will discuss the basic concepts concerning thermalization in quantum systems and discuss transport in disordered chains with many-body interactions where thermalization may be eliminated or at least significantly slowed down.
