Multiport generalizations of beam splitters are the key component in multipath interferometers, which are important in a range of quantum state engineering and precision measurement schemes. Here we propose a straightforward method for implementing multiport devices for atoms trapped in optical ring lattices. These devices are interesting as atoms have certain properties (such as mass) that photons do not and the ring configuration makes them useful for applications such as precision gyroscopes. We discuss how they could be employed in useful measurement schemes and investigate how practical considerations limit the size of the devices that can be achieved by this method.
