      abstract = {This thesis is a contribution at the intersection of a  number of active fields in theoretical and experimental  condensed matter, particularly those concerned with  disordered systems, integrable models, lattice gauge  theories, and non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. 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.},
