Eigenoperator

The term "eigenoperator" is generally used in the context of quantum mechanics or linear algebra, where it is analogous to the concept of an "eigenvalue" and "eigenvector." In these fields, an operator is a mathematical object that acts on elements in a given space (like a vector space). An eigenoperator can be thought of as a particular kind of operator that has a specific eigenstate (or eigenvector) associated with it.
