Understanding the dynamics of strongly interacting disordered quantum systems is one of the most challenging problems in modern science, due to features such as the breakdown of thermalization and the emergence of glassy phases of matter. We report on the discovery of anomalous slow relaxation dynamics in an isolated quantum spin system realized by a frozen gas of Rydberg atoms. The total magnetization is found to relax sub-exponentially analogous to classical glassy dynamics yet being governed by the build-up of non-classical correlations. Experimentally as well as in semi-classical simulations, we find the evolution towards a randomized state to be independent of the strength of disorder up to a critical value. This suggests a unifying description of relaxation dynamics in disordered isolated quantum systems, analogous to the generalization of statistical mechanics to out-of-equilibrium physics in classical spin glasses.
