Abstract
In this paper, we show that in dimension n ≥ 3, the knowledge of the Cauchy data for the fourth-order Schrödinger equation measured on possibly very small subsets of the boundary determines uniquely the potential. The proof is based on the Carleman estimates and the construction of complex geometrical optics solutions.
