We propose a quantum-enhanced matter-wave interferometry protocol based on fractional-revival dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a ring, combined with a controlled interaction quench. Using the Truncated Wigner Approximation, we show that nonlinear evolution to the quarter revival generates modest spin squeezing of -2.03±0.28 dB, which subsequently degrades under further nonlinear evolution. In contrast, starting from a non-interacting condensate, a controlled interaction quench applied after the initial quarter-revival beam-splitter operation generates substantially stronger spin squeezing of -14.57±0.27 dB. We further show that phase control at t=3Tᵣ/8 rotates the squeezed quadrature onto the phase-sensitive direction Ĵ_y, producing a phase-squeezed state at t=Tᵣ/2. The subsequent quarter-revival evolution converts this phase-squeezed state into a number-squeezed state, enabling population-difference readout. The resulting sequence provides a route to quantum-enhanced interferometry using the intrinsic fractional-revival dynamics of a ring together with controlled interaction and phase operations.
