Lagrangian form of Schrödinger equation

Abstract: Lagrangian formulation of quantum mechanical Schr\"odinger equation is developed in general and illustrated in the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian and in the coordinate representation. The Lagrangian formulation of physically plausible quantum system results in a well defined second order equation on a real vector space. The Klein-Gordon equation for a real field is shown to be the Lagrangian form of the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation.
