{wiki=Operator_(physics)}
In physics, particularly in quantum mechanics, an operator is a mathematical object that acts on the elements of a vector space to produce another element within that space. Operators are used to represent physical observables, such as position, momentum, and energy. \#\#\# Key Concepts: 1. **Linear Operators**: In quantum mechanics, operators are usually linear.
