The formation of binary correlations in plasma is studied from the quantum kinetic equation. It is shown that this formation is much faster than dissipation due to collisions, in hot (dense) plasma the correlations form on the timescale of inverse plasma frequency (Fermi energy). This hierarchy of characteristic times is used to derive analytical formulae for time dependency of the potential energy of binary interactions which measures the extent of correlations. We discuss the dynamical formation of screening and compare with the statical screened result.Comparisons are made with molecular dynamic simulations. In the low temperature limit we find an analytical expression for the formation of correlation which is general for any binary interaction. It can be applied in nuclear situations as well as dense metals.
