/ Abstract

We know Schrödinger equation describes the dynamics of quantum systems, which don’t include temperature. In this paper, we propose finite temperature Schrödinger equation, which can describe the quantum systems in an arbitrary temperature. When the temperature T=0, it become Shrödinger equation.
