Understanding how closed quantum systems dynamically approach thermal equilibrium presents a major unresolved problem in statistical physics. Generically, non-integrable quantum systems are expected to thermalize as they comply with the…

From among the waves whose dynamics are governed by the nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation, we find a robust, spatiotemporally disordered family, in which waves initialized with increasing amplitudes, on average, over long time scales,…
