How does an operator differ from a normal function?

0

Any function can be considered an operator; it’s a matter of context and usage. We treat functions as operators when they act on wavefunctions and change their form. For instance, a derivative changes the form of a function and is considered an operator. You can actually consider even a constant an operator, if it multiplies a function and changes it into another function (although we won’t usually call it that).
