it remains - it is theoretically impossible to break this.

Hmm - Interesting.
It's cool but that turns the end computers into the targets.

It would have been exactly the same had they used an ordinary laser\light beam. You look at it and some of the light has to be redirected away from the destination. It's not possible to not disturb the light and read it at the same time. (and looking at it from side on doesn't work cause the data is not sent in that direction )

Still it's cool that to break this signal successfully you have to break the laws of physics.
You can capture part of that light beam without disturbing the rest of the signal though. That's the thing, this technique takes it down to the level where you physically can't take part of the signal without interrupting the rest.

That is and always will be the biggest weakness in any secure network. At some point the encrypted data has to be decrypted if you want to do anything but a simple comparison against it - want to display that data? Then it needs to be decrypted for display - want to change the data? Then it needs to be decrypted, then changed, then re-encrypted.
