Qudit states offer significant advantages with respect to qubit states regarding their application in the field of quantum communication and computation. However, the measurement effort necessary to tomographically reconstruct their quantum states scales with 4log(d)/log(2) with d denoting the dimension of the qudit state. Here, we present experimental results on the efficient tomographic reconstruction of qudit entangled states with dimensions up to 2x8 using the energy-time degree of freedom [1,2]. Two different methods based on low rank quantum state tomography [3] and on correlation complementarity [4] are compared regarding their efficiency.
