We show that quantum chaotic dynamic may not result in thermalization in certain bosonic models that can be realized as an array of Josephson junctions. This model exhibits a many-body localization transition which separates insulating and metallic phases. Localization prevents the system to thermalize in the insulating phase. We show that there is a intermediate
region in the phase diagram, between Many-Body localized and ergodic phases, in which the system behaves as a metal but it is not described by the laws of Statistical Mechanics.
