Early experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider discovered the Quark Gluon Plasma is a nearly perfect liquid of deconfined quarks and gluons. Since the first discoveries of jet quenching and flow, upgrades to the STAR and PHENIX detectors and the increased luminosity of RHIC have enabled more detailed description of the QGP. In particular, sPHENIX, which is scheduled to start taking data in 2023, is designed for high precision jet and heavy flavor measurements. This talk will discuss the jet and heavy flavor measurements achievable with the upgrades at RHIC within the next decade and how these measurements attain the goals set forth in the 2015 Nuclear Physics Long Range Plan.
