There's been a lot of interesting research in superconducting computer architectures that bear similarities to these concepts; some of it pursuant to quantum computing, some classical. [1] DACs that use switching of Josephson junctions to store persistent current, [2, 3] logic and storage elements based on the superconducting phase change (e.g. the ability of a metal to hold a voltage differential), and even [4] rudimentary AQFP-based FPGAs! I've seen talks describing more elaborate versions of [4] but can't find a good paper. A pretty good overview of this frontier is [5].
