Abstract

We consider the two-dimensional Grushin Schrödinger equation posed on a finite cylinder $Ω = {(- 1, 1)}_{x} \times 𝕋_{y}$ with Dirichlet boundary condition. We obtain sharp observability by any horizontal strip, with the optimal time $T_{*} > 0$ depending on the size of the strip. Consequently, we prove the exact controllability for the Grushin Schrödinger equation. By exploiting the concentration of eigenfunctions of a harmonic oscillator at $x = 0$ , we also show that the observability fails for any $T \leq T_{*}$ .
