contents We directly observe far-field correlations of x-ray photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). Using an energy-resolved, two-dimensional photon counting detector we record the full ring-shaped emission of both photons across a broad bandwidth and extract pair correlations directly from raw events without imposing angular constraints. The ring radii scale with photon energy, in quantitative agreement with transverse phase matching, providing a stringent momentum-space validation of x-ray SPDC. These observations open a route to leveraging quantum correlations in x-ray imaging and metrology, including correlation-enhanced magnification and reduced blurring.
