Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) lurking at the centers of most galaxies are intriguing objects that are yet to be fully understood. We introduce a self-consistent numerical framework that includes explicit treatments of feedback from star-forming clumps and SMBHs. We perform a state-of-the-art cosmological simulation of a SMBH-host galaxy (quasar) at redshift 7.5, and demonstrate that previously undiscussed types of interplay between galactic components may hold important clues about the growth of SMBHs and their hosts.
