  The demanding experimental access to the ultrafast dynamics of materials
challenges our understanding of their electronic response to applied strong
laser fields. For this purpose, trapped ultracold atoms with highly
controllable potentials have become an enabling tool to describe phenomena in a
scenario where some effects are more easily accessible and twelve orders of
magnitude slower. In this work, we introduce a mapping between the parameters
of attoscience platform and atomic cloud simulators, and propose an
experimental protocol to access the emission spectrum of high harmonic
generation, a regime that has so far been elusive to cold atom simulation. As
we illustrate, the benchmark offered by these simulators can provide new
insights on the conversion efficiency of extended and short nuclear potentials,
as well as the response to applied elliptical polarized fields or ultrashort
few-cycle pulses.
