Supermassive black holes are ubiquitous in the nearby Universe. AGN feedback is thought to be a key mechanism that regulates the growth of supermassive black holes and their joint evolution with their host galaxies. How and when did these mysterious objects form? How did they grow quickly enough to power high-redshift quasars? I will summarize recent discoveries made with the JWST that offer...

The formation and growth of the earliest supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the assembly of early massive galaxies are among the most important open questions. As the most luminous non-transit objects, quasars at z > 6 are indispensable probes of the early Universe. The recent high-z quasar surveys have pushed quasar frontier to z>7.5. The launch of JWST opens up a new era in the study of...
