Plasmon Energy Storage: Limitations & Possibilities

As I know main limitation of
superconducting energy storage is Lorentz
forces which are created by magnetic field
and ultimately destroy a superconducting ring.
But there exist so called plasmon waves or plasma
waves which could spread in metals and plasma.
If I no make mistake they don't create magnetic
field.I wander if it's possible to create conditions
when those plasmon waves will be dumpless
and dissipationless (in superconductors?) and
what will be limitation to energy density of this
waves. Also if it's possible to use plasmons for
energy storage?

What will be main limitation to thisapplication?The main limitation of using plasmons for energy storage is the fact that they are typically not dumpless or dissipationless. This means that they can lose energy as they propagate and therefore, cannot store energy effectively. Additionally, plasmons tend to have relatively low energy densities, so they would not be able to store much energy compared to other forms of energy storage. Therefore, it is unlikely that plasmons could be used effectively for energy storage.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
