In this paper we establish a global Carleman estimate for the fourth order Schrödinger equation with potential posed on a $1-d$ finite domain. The Carleman estimate is used to prove the Lipschitz stability for an inverse problem consisting in recovering a stationary potential in the Schrödinger equation from boundary measurements.
Keywords: fourth order Schrödinger equation, Carleman estimate., Inverse problem.
