Quantum computers, albeit useless, are real life example of reversible computers. Those can be achieved.


Quantum dot cellular automata looked like a good candidate for reversible computers in some post-cmos future, last time I looked at that stuff (years ago—so, it is probably time for a check-in). Notably, they do classical computing, they just exploit quantum effects for the logic gates.
