%X The
stable wave packet has been missing in quantum mechanics for a long time. A consistent
argument finds, in antimatter, regular group and phase velocities, along with
negative energy and negative mass. For this, a new wave function is derived for
free antiparticles, consistent with the Feynman-Stueckelberg switching
principle. The wave packet, expressing internal periodicity together with
external confinement, is ubiquitous in physics. The stable wave packet has many
consequences, a few of which are mentioned. They extend to the debate about
what is measurable in physics and to localization of quantized properties in
entangled particles.
