A set of $4d-3$ observables to determine any pure qudit state

We present a tomographic method which requires only $4d-3$ measurement outcomes to reconstruct \emph{any} pure quantum state of arbitrary dimension $d$. Using the proposed scheme we have experimentally reconstructed a large number of pure states of dimension $d=7$, obtaining a mean fidelity of $0.94$. Moreover, we performed numerical simulations of the reconstruction process, verifying the feasibility of the method for higher dimensions. In addition, the \emph{a priori} assumption of purity can be certified within the same set of measurements, what represents an improvement with respect to other similar methods and contributes to answer the question of how many observables are needed to uniquely determine any pure state
