If $T$ is compact such as $T(e_n)=lambda_n e_n$ then $lim_nlambda_n=0$
$begingroup$
Let $H$ be a Hilbert separable space. with the orthonormal bais $(e_n)_{nin mathbb{N}}$, and $(lambda_n)_{nin mathbb{N}}$ a bounded sequence in $ mathbb{C}$.
We define the operator $T : H rightarrow H$, as $T(e_n)=lambda_n e_n$
We need to prove that $T$ is compact if and only if $lim_nlambda_n=0.$
I only did the reverse :
Suppose that $(lambda_n)_n $ converge to $0$.
We define the finite rank operators $T_k$ defined as : $T_k(x)=(lambda_1x_1,..,lambda_kx_k,0,0,...)$.
And now we prove that $||T_k-T||rightarrow 0.$
We have : $T(x)-T_k(x)=(0,0,...,lambda_{k+1}x_{k+1},...)$
then : $||T_k-T||leq sup_{n>k+1}|lambda_n|rightarrow0.$
then $T$ is compact as limit of finite rank operators.
[But I'm always stuck with the direct implication]

By the equivalent characterization of compact operators on a Hilbert space as taking the unit ball to a compact set, we just need to find a sequence in the image with no convergent subsequence. Because the $lambda_i$ do not converge to $0$, pick a subsequence $lambda_{n_i}$ with $|lambda_{n_i}|>delta$. Then the vectors $lambda_{n_i}e_{n_i}$ are in the image of the unit ball, but they are all orthogonal, so the distance between each of them is at least $sqrt{2}delta$.

Recall that the image of the unit ball under $T$ is relatively (sequentially) compact by definition of compact operator. So begin by assuming to the contrary that there is a subsequence $n(k)$ such that
$$
|lambda_{n(k)}|ge epsilon>0,
$$for some $epsilon >0$. Then, we have
$$
|Te_{n(k)}-Te_{n(r)}|^2 = |lambda_{n(k)}e_{n(k)} - lambda_{n(r)}e_{n(r)} |^2= |lambda_{n(k)}|^2 +|lambda_{n(r)}|^2geq 2epsilon^2.
$$ This means $(Te_{n(k)})_{kge 1}$ cannot have a Cauchy subsequence. This contradicts relative sequential compactness, hence we get
$$
lim_{ntoinfty}|lambda_n| = 0.
$$

If a sequence in not a Cauchy sequence,then surely it has no subsequence convergent at all ?

Actually more is true: if $T$ is compact, then it sends a weakly convergent sequence to a strongly convergent sequence. So, in any case $Te_n$ should converge to $0$ because $e_n$ weakly converges to $0$.
