We show that Rabi oscillations of a degenerate fermionic or bosonic gastrapped in a double-well potential can be exploited for the interferometricmeasurement of external forces at micrometer length scales. The Rabiinterferometer is less sensitive, but easier to implement, than theMach-Zehnder since it does not require dynamical beam-splitting/recombinationprocesses. As an application we propose a measurement of the Casimir-Polderforce acting between the atoms and a dielectric surface. We find that even ifthe interferometer is fed with a coherent state of relatively small number ofatoms, and in the presence of realistic experimental noise, the force can bemeasured with a sensitivity sufficient to discriminate between thermal andzero-temperature regimes of the Casimir-Polder potential. Higher sensitivitiescan be reached with spin squeezed states.
