Quantum fluids exhibit a well-defined phase, which can be interferometrically measured. The direct connection of long-range coherence with superfluid transport and expansion dynnamics is, however, challenging to access experimentally. I report on experimentally revealing the role of long-range coherence for superfluid flow in an interacting gas of 6Li atoms, quenched into and out of optical disorder. I will discuss our investigations about the density and superfluid-expansion response of a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate after quenching. We measure the breakdown and reoccurrence of superfluid hydrodynamics. We track the response times on which the system relaxes to a new equilibrium and relate the time scales to fundamental energy scales of the system. Our results shed light onto the importance of long-range phase coherence for superfluid flow, and also suggest a possible route of studying complex phase dynamics in superfluids by imprinting disordered phases.
