In a well-cited article, Gottesman, Jennewein, and Croke propose a design for a telescope system that uses quantum information to carry out interferometric measurements over light collected in widely-separated telescopes.
This question asks if such a system will exist by 2030. To qualify, the system must:
Observe light from actual astronomical objects, rather than simulated light.
Must actually transmit quantum information using the described "quantum repeater" rather than just redirecting the light itself.
Must make scientific observations that would not be technologically possible using other techniques deployed at the time the observations are made.
