I've never seen the term "broket" either, though physicists and
mathematicians use the term "bra-ket" in connection with quantum mechanics
among other things. Maybe this is what was meant.
Most musicians, naturally, will be unfamiliar with this terminology.
from wikipedia.org: Bra-ket notation is the standard notation for
describing quantum states in the theory of quantum mechanics. It can also
be used to denote abstract vectors and linear functionals in pure
mathematics. It is so called because the inner product of two states is
denoted by a bracket, <x|y> consisting of a left part <x|, called the bra,
and a right part, |y>, called the ket. The notation was invented by Paul
Dirac, and is also known as Dirac notation. It is also the notation of
choice in quantum computing.
