  We show that the de Haas van Alphen effect can be induced in a two
dimensional atomic gas by the He-McKellar-Wilkens interaction mediated via an
electric dipole moment. Under an appropriate field-dipole configuration, we
show that the neutral atoms subject to a synthetic magnetic field arrange
themselves in Landau levels. An experimental arrangement for observation of the
atomic analog of dHvA oscillations is proposed. In a strong effective magnetic
field regime we present the quantum oscillations in the energy and effective
magnetization of the two dimensional atomic gas. From the dHvA period we
determine the area of the Fermi circle of the atomic cloud.
