We have imaged spontaneously created arrays of vortices (magnetic flux quanta), generated in a superconducting film quenched through its transition temperature at rates around 109K/s. The spontaneous appearance of vortices is predicted by the Kibble-Zurek and by the Hindmarsh-Rajantie models of phase transitions under nonequilibrium conditions. Differentiating between these models requires a measurement of the internal correlations within the emerging vortex array. In addition to short-range correlations predicted by Kibble and Zurek, we found unexpected long-range correlations which are not described by any of the existing models.
