Abstract: Abstract : In these lectures we shall discuss universalities in non-equilibrium physics. A primary goal is to understand the late time fate of a closed quantum system subjected to out of equilibrium dynamics. Typically, systems exhibit thermalization, or at any rate some kind of equilibriation. To understand the fate is to identify the final ensemble that describes the system at late times. The other closely tied goal is to understand the mechanism that leads to the equilibriation. The physics becomes more interesting in presence of chaos, symmetry breakings$ and critical points. We will touch upon these various issues, while aiming to get some universal lessons in order to help build non-equilibrium intuition.
