contents Complex numbers, intrinsic to the formulation of quantum theory, play a pivotal role in enabling advantages across a broad range of quantum information-processing tasks. Despite their fundamental importance, practical and scalable criteria for detecting quantum imaginarity remain relatively underexplored, particularly methods that enable its identification with reduced experimental overhead. In this work, we propose a realistic and experimentally feasible method to detect quantum imaginarity using moment-based approach. Our framework relies on experimentally accessible moments of the Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability distribution, enabling scalable detection in many-body and high-dimensional systems without requiring full state tomography. We then present an illustrative example to support our detection scheme. Finally, we present an interferometric scheme for measuring these moments, paving the way for experimental implementation of our detection protocol.
