Abstract: We review the X-ray studies of the highest redshift quasars, focusing on the results obtained with Chandra and XMM-Newton. Overall, the X-ray and broad-band properties of z > 4 quasars and local quasars are similar, suggesting that the small-scale X-ray emission regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are insensitive to the significant cosmic changes occurring from z≈0–6.
