  sPHENIX is a new collaboration and future detector project at Brookhaven
National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). It seeks to
answer fundamental questions on the nature of the quark gluon plasma (QGP),
including its temperature dependence and coupling strength, by using a suite of
precision jet and upsilon measurements that probe different length scales of
the QGP. This will be achieved with large acceptance, $|\eta| < 1$ and
$0$-$2\pi$ in $\phi$, electromagentic and hadronic calorimeters and precision
tracking enabled by a $1.5$ T superconducting magnet. With the increased
luminosity afforded by accelerator upgrades, sPHENIX will perform high
statistics measurements extending the kinematic reach at RHIC to overlap the
LHC's. This overlap with the LHC will facilitate better understanding of the
role of temperature, density and parton virtuality in QGP dynamics and for jet
quenching in particular. This talk will focus on key future measurements and
the current state of the sPHENIX project.
