Title- Quantum Quenches in Sine-Gordon Theory:
Progress and Challenges

Abstract:
Sine-Gordon model is a paradigmatic integrable quantum field
theory featuring strongly correlated dynamics, topological excitations,
bound states and strong-weak coupling duality. It is also realised
experimentally, allowing us to submit theoretical ideas to reality
check. In this talk I overview a number of recent results concerning
its non-equilibrium dynamics following a (global) quantum quench,
highlighting results as well as outstanding challenges.
