How Quantum Math Theory Turned into a Jazz Concert
Briefly

Exactly two years to the date that Rayan, a researcher at the University of Saskatchewan, and Presslaff, who's based in Winnipeg, Canada, first connected over e-mail, they gathered a 15-piece hyperbolic band of musicians to perform the five-section concert at the University of Saskatchewan. Each section corresponded to a portion of Rayan's research article.
Their objective was to explore whether band theory—which researchers use to consider the energy levels of materials and the atoms that they're made of—could be reformulated to explain hyperbolic materials, which have irregular, warped arrangements.
