Description
The sine-Gordon model is a paradigmatic quantum field theory due to its fascinating nonperturbative physics and integrability. Recently, it has gained direct experimental relevance in studying quantum dynamics. In this talk, I give a somewhat subjective overview of the results achieved and the challenges ahead, hoping to demonstrate that this 'beautiful model' certainly deserves continued interest.
