In this note, we prove the quantitative observability with an explicit control cost for the 1D Schrödinger equation over R with real-valued, bounded continuous potential on thick sets. Our proof relies on different techniques for low-frequency and high-frequency estimates. In particular, we extend the large time observability result for the 1D free Schrödinger equation in Theorem 1.1 of Huang-Wang-Wang [20] to any short time. As another byproduct, we extend the spectral inequality of Lebeau-Moyano [27] for real-analytic potentials to bounded continuous potentials in the one-dimensional case.
