A novel Distributed Quantum Telescope Array (DQTA)is designed to revolutionize atmospheric sensing and quantum network performance. By harnessing advanced quantum optical techniques such as quantum interferometry, and entangled photon detection the DQTA aims to achieve real-time, high-resolution monitoring of atmospheric fluctuations. These measurements are critical for enhancing the fidelity and stability of quantum communication links established via Silicon Vacancy (SiV) centers in diamond, which serve as robust quantum memory and processing nodes. Through the synchronized operation of multiple quantum telescopes, the system will generate volumetric atmospheric data to enable adaptive feedback control for quantum channels. This integration of quantum sensing with quantum communication marks a significant step toward scalable, resilient quantum networks, supporting future applications in secure communications, astronomical imaging, and the global quantum internet.
