Solar flares and the often associated solar eruptive events serve as anoutstanding laboratory to study the magnetic reconnection and the associatedenergy release and conversion processes under plasma conditions difficult toreproduce in the laboratory, and with considerable spatiotemporal details notpossible elsewhere in the universe. In the past decade, thanks to advances inmulti-wavelength imaging spectroscopy, as well as developments in theories andnumerical modeling, significant progress has been made in improving ourunderstanding of solar flare/eruption energy release. In particular, broadbandimaging spectroscopy at microwave wavelengths offered by the Expanded OwensValley Solar Array (EOVSA) has enabled the revolutionary capability ofmeasuring the time-evolving coronal magnetic fields at or near the flarereconnection region. However, owing to EOVSA's limited dynamic range, imagingfidelity, and angular resolution, such measurements can only be done in aregion around the brightest source(s) where the signal-to-noise is sufficientlylarge. In this white paper, after a brief introduction to the outstandingquestions and challenges pertinent to magnetic energy release in solar flaresand eruptions, we will demonstrate how a next-generation radio facility withmany (~100-200) antenna elements can bring the next revolution by enabling highdynamic range, high fidelity broadband imaging spectropolarimetry along with asub-second time resolution and arcsecond-level angular resolution. We recommendto prioritize the implementation of such a ground-based instrument within thisdecade. We also call for facilitating multi-wavelength, multi-messengerobservations and advanced numerical modeling in order to achieve acomprehensive understanding of the "system science" of solar flares anderuptions.
