contents In this paper, we establish a Paley-Wiener type uncertainty principle for Schrödinger equations with bounded electric and magnetic potentials, \begin{align*} i\partial_tu+Δ_Au+V(t,x)u=0,\,\,u(0,x)=u_0(x), \end{align*} where $Δ_A=(\nabla-iA)^2$ denotes the magnetic Schrödinger operator. Specifically, under suitable assumptions on $A$ and $V$, we show that if a solution $u$ exhibits linear exponential decay and support property in one spatial direction at times $t=0$ and $t=1$ respectively, then $u$ must vanish identically. This result extends the theorem of Kenig-Ponce-Vega [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 47 (2014), 539-557] to the case $A\neq0$. We overcome the difficulty brought by the magnetic potential which breaks the translation invariance in the leading term of Hamiltonian $H=Δ_A+V$. As a direct consequence, we also obtain a uniqueness result for a class of semi-linear Schrödinger equation with electromagnetic potentials.
