Abstract
An informal introduction to our recent work on the principal chiral model with boundary. We found that both classically integrable boundary conditions and quantum boundary S-matrices were classified by the symmetric spaces G/H. The connection is explained by the presence of a twisted Yangian algebra of non-local charges.
