contents While quantum turbulence has been addressed both experimentally (predominantly for superfluid $^4$He and $^3$He) and theoretically, the dynamics of various ensembles of quantized vortices was followed in time only until the vortices decay into phonons. How this ``thermalization'' is achieved is still an unaddressed and thus an unelucidated question. The Unitary Fermi Gas (UFG) is a unique quantum system, which has no classical counterpart and of relevance to neutron stars, cold atoms, condensed matter and nuclear many-body systems. The non-Markovian evolution of an isolated UFG is put in evidence and its entire non-equilibrium evolution can be studied theoretically within a unified theoretical framework. The initial lattice of quantum vortices and anti-vortices evolves through a couple of vortex tangles and excitation of Kelvin waves, where vortices cross and reconnect, until very slowly thermalization sets in.
