Matter-wave interferometry plays a crucial role in exploring foundational aspects of quantum physics, including the creation of large-scale Schrodinger cat states and the study of quantum-to-classical transitions by decoherence mechanisms. Recently, there has been increasing interest in utilizing molecular matter-wave interferometry to achieve advanced quantum sensing for molecular properties or to measure forces exerted on molecules. In this context, we investigate the feasibility of probing chiral Casimir-Polder effects, i.e., quantum electrodynamics forces dependent on the chirality of molecules, using matter-wave interferometry by focusing on both the transmission signal and the visibility of interference fringes.
