We introduce "stochastic cloaking," where a region of space is concealed from an ensemble of diffusing particles whose individual trajectories are governed by a stochastic (Langevin) equation. Our simulations reveal how different…

In this paper, we establish approximate cloaking for the heat equation via transformation optics. We show that the degree of visibility is of the order $\epsilon$ in three dimensions and $|\ln\epsilon|^{-1}$ in two dimensions, where…
