Multipartite entanglement lies at the very heart of quantum mechanics and offers many fascinating applications like, e.g., quantum computing or quantum metrology. Hence, experimentally friendly tools for fast entanglement detection and characterization with better than exponential scaling are needed. Here, we implement such an efficient scheme, tomography in the permutationally invariant subspace, and compare its performance against compressed sensing tomography and standard tomography for a six-photon symmetric Dicke state. For data processing, we developed a scalable fitting algorithm based on convex optimization. By means of this algorithm, we were also able to study systematic deviations of the maximum likelihood estimation for fidelity and negativity, which for finite statistics get (strongly) biased for constrained optimization.
