  We examine the formation and critical dynamics of topological defects via
Kibble-Zurek mechanism in a (2+1)-dimensional quantum critical point, which is
conjectured to dual to a Lifshitz geometry. Quantized magnetic fluxoids are
spontaneously generated and trapped in the cores of order parameter vortices,
which is a feature of type II superconductors. Time evolution of the average
condensate is found to lag behind the instantaneous equilibrium value of the
order parameter, a typical phenomenon in nonequilibrium dynamics. Scalings of
vortex number density and the "freeze-out" time match the predictions from
Kibble-Zurek mechanism. From these scalings, the dynamic and static critical
exponents in the boundary field theory are found, at least at finite
temperature, to be irrespective of the Lifshitz exponent in the bulk.
