Abstract: We study the out-of-equilibrium evolution of a strongly interacting quantum spin chain which is mapped on a system of hard rods that are coherently deposited on and removed from a lattice. We show that this closed quantum system approaches an equilibrium steady state which strongly resembles a microcanonical ensemble of classical hard rods. Starting from the fully coherent evolution equation we derive a Master equation for the evolution of the number of hard rods on the lattice. This equation does not only capture properties of the equilibrium state but also describes the dynamical non-equilibrium evolution into it for the majority of initial conditions. We analyze this in detail for hard rods of varying size.
