Abstract

We develop a new abstract derivation of the observability inequalities at two points in time for Schrödinger type equations. Our approach consists of two steps. In the first step we prove a Nazarov type uncertainty principle associated with a non-negative self-adjoint operator H on L2 (Rn). In the second step we use results on asymptotic behavior of e−itH, in particular, minimal velocity estimates introduced by Sigal and Soffer. Such observability inequalities are closely related to unique continuation problems as well as controllability for the Schrödinger equation.
