We consider the mathematical theory of invisibility. We start with singular transformation which provide exact (both active and passive) invisibility. We then show how to approximate this highly anisotropic, singular material parameters with homogeneous non-singular ones. We then apply this construction to produce some unusual phenomena in quantum physics, acoustics, etc. (like invisible sensor and Schrodinger Hat potential)
