• We explore the far-from-equilibrium response of a holographic superfluid using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We establish the dynamical phase diagram corresponding to quantum quenches of the order parameter source field. We find three distinct regimes of behavior that are related to the spectrum of black hole quasinormal modes. These correspond to damped oscillations of the order parameter and to overdamped approaches to the superfluid and normal states. The presence of three regimes, which includes an emergent dynamical temperature scale, is argued to occur more generally in time-reversal-invariant systems that display continuous symmetry breaking.
