Gate-set tomography enables the determination of the process matrix of a set of quantum logic gates, including measurement and state preparation errors. Here we propose an efficient method to implement such tomography on qutrits, using only gates in the qutrit Clifford group to construct preparation and measurement fiducials. Our method significantly reduces computational overhead by using the theoretical minimum number of measurements and directly parametrizing qutrit Hadamard gates. We demonstrate qutrit gate-set tomography on a superconducting transmon, and find good agreement of average gate infidelity with qutrit randomized benchmarking.
