10 “Quantum invisibility cloaks” have been developed by Zhejiang University?

A video titled “a man disappeared within one second” went viral showing that an old man became invisible via a “plastic cloth”. When the video was forwarded, it was added that Zhejiang University had developed “quantum invisibility cloaks”.
In fact, the video was Photoshopped. Zhejiang University had never developed “quantum invisibility cloaks”, or made such a video, according to Ma Guiyun, professor from the university’s College of Optical Science and Engineering. Invisibility is practicable in theory, but there is still a long way to go in terms of technology.
