Normal operators

N N^* = N^* N.

The main importance of this concept is that the spectral theorem applies to normal operators.

Examples of normal operators:

Unitary operators (N^* = N⁻¹)
Hermitian operators (N^* = N)
Normal matrices can be seen as normal operators if one takes the Hilbert space to be Cⁿ.
