adiabatic and reversible computing with FPGAs?

Is it possible to use adiabatic computing with today FPGAs? It uses less power by stretching the time for loading capacitors and uses LC tanks for energy storage:

The ultimate power reduction would be to use reversible computing:

because in theory the energy dissipation is zero. You can use the Fredkin gate as the base gate for implementing all logics:

which can be implemented with collision-based computing, like the billiard ball model:

But how can this be implemented in ICs? Some ideas are presented in this article and one implementation of the Fredkin gate with collision-based computing elements:

Are there any plans from the major FPGA vendors to incorporate some of these ideas in their devices?
