Given a finite set X⊆ ℝ we characterize the diagonals of self-adjoint operators with spectrum X. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite-dimensional setting to an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space analogous to Kadison's theorem for orthogonal projections (2002) and the second author's result for operators with three-point spectrum (2013).
