Abstract
We discuss foundational questions around thermalization and chaos in closed quantum systems, as well as new ways to characterize chaos and thermalization through entanglement growth. We explore these questions in 1-d spin chains and random circuit models. This thesis is structured as follows: Part I builds the backbone. This is aimed at beginning graduate students or undergraduates wanting to learn about the subject methods. Part II is a compilation of published works. Each chapter is a paper. This is aimed at the examiners or anyone interested in new results.
