The development of quantum radar technology presents a challenge to stealth targets, so it is necessary to study the quantum detection probability. In this study, an analytical expression of the quantum radar cross section (QRCS) for complex targets is presented. Based on this QRCS expression, a calculation method for the detection probability for quantum radar is creatively proposed. Moreover, a self-designed flying-wing stealth aircraft is adopted to obtain the detection probability distributions of the conventional radar and the quantum radar in different directions. As revealed by the result of this study, the detection probabilities of the quantum radar and the conventional radar are significantly different, and the detection probability of the quantum radar has obvious advantages in most regions with a certain distance.
