The Sine-Gordon - equivalently, the massive Thirring - Hamiltonian is ubiquitous in low-dimensional physics, with applications that range from cold atom and strongly correlated systems to quantum impurities. We study here its non-equilibrium dynamics using the quantum quench protocol - following the system as it evolves under the Sine-Gordon Hamiltonian from initial Mott type states with large potential barriers. By means of the Bethe Ansatz we calculate exactly the Loschmidt amplitude, the fidelity and work distribution characterizing these quenches for different values of the interaction strength. Some universal features are noted as well as an interesting duality relating quenches in different parameter regimes of the model.
