Relaxation of far-from equilibrium integrable systems is to date an open and interesting question. Recent progress in cold atom experiments in low dimensional systems, allow for a detailed study of integrable field theories. Specifically we consider a system of linearly coupled quasi one-dimensional condensates, realizing the quantum sine-Gordon and Lieb-Liniger theories. By studying quenches in the mass of the sine-Gordon model, we are able to explore fundamental questions of quantum physics. In particular we investigate prethermalization and the Generalized Gibbs Ensemble, higher order correlations and their factorization properties in and out of equilibrium, dynamics and decay of topological excitations and false vacua, quantum many body revivals, and tomography of quasiparticle. We compare the experiment to analytical and numerical results, for the latter using the (stochastic) Gross-Pitaevskii equations as well as Monte-Carlo simulations.
