      The paper constructs harmonic diffeomorphisms from \(\mathbb C\) onto \(\mathbb H\). The authors use entire minimal graphs to construct such examples. The constructions are used within a general study of complete minimal graphs in \(\mathbb H \times \mathbb R\), which take asymptotic boundary values plus and minus infinity on alternating sides of an ideal inscribed polygon in \(\mathbb H\). A diffeomorphism from \(\mathbb C\) onto \(\mathbb H\) is constructed based on a certain entire minimal graph \(\mathbb H \times \mathbb R\), which disproves a conjecture of Schoen and Yau.
