Dubious. Quite dubious. Consider the prose from Silkroad.

1. A Mach Zender Interferometer is a known device.
A Mach Zender Modulator is what?

2. Optical tweezers are used to trap particles in laser beams. Particles folks.

3. How a Mach Zender Interferometer could be adapted to being optical tweezers is quite a stretch of physics.

4. Should it be possible to use it to trap particles (repeat, particles - that is what optical tweezers ARE) there is still the question of how on earth this could ever relate to photon regulation of any kind.

5. There is a basic, very fundamental, so basic it is ridiculous, absolutely egregious mistake of physics that is repeated in the literature from Silkroad, even prominently. It is basic. No I won't say what it is. I don't want these people to clean it up.
