1. Something “in a superconducting state” has zero resistance, but the transition to superconducting states is not sudden, and there are various things which disrupt that state like magnetic fields.

2. Alternating currents will dissipate even with zero resistance, because the circuit will emit EM waves.




Ladder lines are balanced transmission lines, so they do not emit EM radiation.


Wouldn’t that require kind of an idealized transmission line, not just a superconducting one?


Yes. I don't think super conduncting ressonators of any design are perfect.
