The study of far-from-equilibrium quantum systems is a rapidly growing field of condensed matter physics. Notions of quantum information theory have emerged as important tools in this context, central to understanding the quantum thermalization process. In this thesis, we study the dynamics of such quantities, and uncover many of their interesting universal features. We achieve this by combining the study of simple minimal models, with extensive numerical simulations, developing a `hydrodynamics of quantum information'.
