Neutrino Interferometry at DUNE:
Preparing for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment

The fact that neutrinos have mass and change flavors means that we can learn a great deal about them by studying what are effectively interference patterns that arise after neutrinos propagate over hundreds of kilometers.  The DUNE experiment will measure these interference patterns over a broad neutrino energy range after neutrinos have propagated 1300km.  In addition, DUNE will use a detector technology that provides exquisite detail about the interactions that make up the interference pattern.  This talk will present the current state of neutrino interference measurements and the various ways the field is preparing to jump to a new level of understanding.
