We describe an experimental implementation to generate and measure high-dimensional, time-bin entangled qudits. Two-photon time-bin entanglement is generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing in single-mode fiber. Unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometers transform selected time-bins to polarization entanglement, allowing standard polarization-projective measurements to be used for complete quantum state tomographic reconstruction. Here, we generate maximally entangled qubits (d = 2), qutrits (d = 3), and ququarts (d = 4), as well as other phase-modulated non-maximally entangled qubits and qutrits. We reconstruct and verify all generated states using maximum likelihood estimation tomography.
