Abstract: Quantum optics with X-rays has long been a somewhat exotic activity, but it is now rapidly becoming relevant as precision x-ray optics and novel X-ray light sources, and high-intensity lasers are becoming available. This article gives an overview of the current state of the field and an outlook to future prospects.
