"With light invisibility, scientists engineer materials that can distort a light field, but the quantum variety has to distort probability. According to the math, it should be possible to build a system where the probability of existing inside a region of space falls to zero. Of course, you could put something in that space and it would be cloaked from reality." ~ "The practical applications aren’t as fantastical as traditional invisibility, but could end up being considerably more important. The researchers believe that a properly implemented quantum invisibility cloak could be used to make quantum information storage and computing more feasible. Quantum invisibility is not a reality yet, but the groundwork has been laid. It only took a few years for transformation optics to go from theory to application. Maybe this new kind of invisibility will be on a similar trajectory."
