Abstract
Nonspreading wave packets for Rydberg electrons are predicted in rotat ing molecules with electric dipole moments. We have named them the Tro jan wave packets since their stability is due to the same mechanism th at governs the motion of the Trojan asteroids in the Sun-Jupiter syste m. Unlike all previously predicted Trojan wave packets in atoms, molec ular Trojan states do not require external fields for their existence.
