contents Quantum target detection (QTD) utilizes nonclassical resources to enable radar-like detection for identifying reflecting objects in challenging environments, surpassing classical methods. To fully leverage the quantum advantage in QTD, determining the optimal probe states (OPSs) across various detection parameters and gaining a deeper understanding of their characteristics are crucial. In this study, we identified the single-mode continuous-variable OPSs for arbitrary object reflectivity using optimization algorithms. Our findings suggest that OPSs are non-Gaussian states in most reflectivity scenarios, with exceptions under specific conditions. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive physical interpretation of the observed phenomena. This study offers a tool for identifying OPSs along with a clear physical interpretation. It also contributes to further advancements towards optimal multi-mode QTD, which has the potential for broad applications in quantum sensing and metrology.
