Description
We investigate early-time equilibration rates of observables in closed many-body quantum systems
and compare them to those of two correlation functions, first introduced by Kubo and Srednicki.
We explore whether these different rates coincide at a universal value that sets the timescales
of processes at a finite energy density. We find evidence for this coincidence when the initial
conditions are sufficiently generic, or typical.
