# Backward stochastic Schrödinger and infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian equations

• The paper is concerned with a semi-linear backward stochastic Schrödinger equation in $\mathbb{R}^d$ or in its bounded domain of a $C^2$ boundary. Galerkin's finite-dimensional approximation method is used and the harmonic role of the Laplacian is shown. The existence, uniqueness and regularity are given for the weak solution of the equation. A more general backward stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equation is also discussed.
