Coherently shaping excitonic states holds great potential for novel optoelectronics and quantum information processing. Yet, their femtosecond-scale coherence time substantially constrains coherent control. Here, intense phase-stable carrier waves of light resonantly drive the excitonic 1s-2p states in monolayer MoSe2 faster than their natural decoherence rate, driving the excitonic system into multiple Rabi oscillations that occur during a single cycle of light. The dynamics are probed by injecting excitons into the 1s state using femtosecond NIR pulses and measuring the induced high-order sideband emission. The signal exhibits surprising spectro-temporal signatures that are reproduced by many-body simulations and a reduced two-level model, exposing the dominant role of the 1s-2p sub-system, even under these extreme driving conditions. An intuitive Floquet analysis links these features to light-induced avoided crossings between higher-order Floquet replicas of the driven two-level system. Our results bridge lightwave electronics in quantum materials, attosecond science, and atomic physics, and establish an exciting new route to shaping many-body quantum correlations at optical clock rates.
