Ultracold atomic physics experiments offer a nearly ideal context for the investigation of quantum systems far from equilibrium. We describe three related emerging directions of research into extreme non-equilibrium phenomena in atom traps: quantum emulation of ultrafast atom-light interactions, coherent phasonic spectroscopy in tunable quasicrystals, and realization of Floquet matter in strongly-driven lattice systems. We show that all three should enable quantum emulation in parameter regimes inaccessible in solid-state experiments, facilitating a complementary approach to open problems in non-equilibrium condensed matter.
