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…

Recent research has uncovered a remarkable ability to manipulate and control electromagnetic fields to produce effects such as perfect imaging and spatial cloaking. To achieve spatial cloaking, the index of refraction is manipulated to flow…

The invariance under co-ordinate transformations of a set of partial differential equations can lead to the possibility of invisibility cloaking, whereby an anomaly in the interior of a body is shielded from an external observer. The form…
