Abstract: At any energy E > 0, we construct a sequence of bounded potentials $V_n^E,ninN$, supported in an annular region $B_{out}setminus{B}_{inn}$ in three-space, which act as approximate cloaks for solutions of Schr"odinger's equation: For any potential $V_{0}in{L}^{i}nfty(B_{inn})$ such that E is not a Neumann eigenvalue of $-Delta+V_0$ in $B_{inn}$, the scattering amplitudes $a_{V_0+V_n^E}(E,heta,omega)o0$ as $noinfty$. The $V_n^E$ thus not only form a family of approximately transparent potentials, but also function as approximate invisibility cloaks in quantum mechanics. On the other hand, for $E$ close to interior eigenvalues, resonances develop and there exist {it almost trapped states} concentrated in $B_{inn}$. We derive the $V_n^E$ from singular, anisotropic transformation optics-based cloaks by a de-anisotropization procedure, which we call emph{isotropic transformation optics}. This technique uses truncation, inverse homogenization and spectral theory to produce nonsingular, isotropic approximate cloaks. As an intermediate step, we also obtain approximate cloaking for a general class of equations including the acoustic equation.
