It contributes an important new facet to our understanding of relaxation in isolated quantum systems by conclusively demonstrating localization without disorder for the first time, answering a long-standing question in this field. This is achieved by introducing a family of models ? intimately related to paradigmatic condensed matter models ? and studying their non-equilibrium dynamics through a combination of exact analytical mappings and an array of numerical techniques. This thesis also makes contributions relevant to the theory of quantum chaotic behaviour by calculating novel, and often intractable, entanglement measures and out-of-time-ordered correlators. A concrete and feasible proposal is also made for the experimental realization and dynamical study of the family of models, based on currently available technologies. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25005 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 14$aCondensed Matter Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 676 $a530.41 676 $a530.41 700 $aSmith$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$071866 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337873903321 996 $aDisorder-Free Localization$91870347 997 $aUNINA
