• Abstract: Quantum illumination is a protocol for detecting a low-reflectivity target by using two-mode entangled states composed of signal and idler modes. In this study, we extend the two-mode qubit states to three-mode qubit states, exploring the following configurations: (i) three signals, (ii) two signals and one idler, and (iii) one signal and two idlers. Each configuration considers various three-qubit states, such as GHZ state, W state, bipartite entangled states, and product states. We derive single-shot detection limits of the three-qubit states under white noise environment, evaluating the detection error probabilities for each configuration. We obtain that the performance is enhanced by the entanglement between signal and idler qubits, whereas it is degraded by the entanglement between signal qubits. In particular, the optimal probe state is not a maximally entangled state but a bipartite entangled state. Moreover, we show that the order of detection error probabilities is consistently certified by the quantum mutual information for the three-qubit probe states. Furthermore, we devote attention to whether this tendency maintains even in multipartite qudit states.
