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 a hot (dense) plasma the correlations are formed on the scale of inverse plasma frequency (Fermi energy). We derive analytical formulae for the time dependency of the potential energy 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.
